- The ordering of data in an increasing or decreasing manner according to some linear relationship among the data items. In computer science, arranging in an ordered sequence is called “sorting.” Sorting is a common operation in many applications, and efficient algorithms have been developed to perform it. The most common uses of sorted sequences are making lookup or search efficient; making merging of sequences efficient; and enabling the processing of data in a defined order. ← Wikipedia
