Are there any worse sorting algorithms than Bogosort (a.k.a Monkey Sort)? [closed]

Answer 1

I'm surprised no one has mentioned sleepsort yet... Or haven't I noticed it? Anyway:

#!/bin/bash
function f() {
    sleep "$1"
    echo "$1"
}
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
    f "$1" &
    shift
done
wait

example usage:

./sleepsort.sh 5 3 6 3 6 3 1 4 7
./sleepsort.sh 8864569 7

In terms of performance it is terrible (especially the second example). Waiting almost 3.5 months to sort 2 numbers is kinda bad.
