Is there any practical use case for Sleep Sort?
01:28 26 Dec 2022

This is one of the most unique and fun sorting algorithms on planet earth, in which the time required to complete sorting depends on the size of each individual element rather than the number of elements. But is there any practical use case for it where it is actually efficient? I mean when dealing with large numbers, it's gonna be a gruesome idea to use sleep sort. But what about very, very, very small numbers? Does it outperform Merge Sort there?
