Evaluation of sorting methods

I have been asked to report to you on the present state of the art of sorting. In order to do so, I have obtained help and information from more people than I can thank individually. My former employers, Arthur D. Little, Inc. have allowed me to spend many hours of their valuable time, and my present employers, The Farrington Manufacturing Co., of their, I am glad to say, even more valuable time, on sorting out the information received.
