Just
like with searching,
|
|
|
|
– |
when
we want to sort we need to pick from our data
|
|
|
|
record
the key to sort on (called the sort key).
|
|
|
|
– |
For
example, if our records contain information about
|
|
|
|
people,
we might want to sort their names, id #s, or
|
|
|
|
zip
codes.
|
|
|
|
– |
Given
a sorting algorithm, your entire table of
|
|
|
|
information
will be sorted based on only one field (the
|
|
|
sort
key).
