Does anyone know which algorithm is used internally on Vim when :sort command is used?
Is the same algorithm used to sort 10 lines than the one used to sort 10000 lines?
Vim is open source; why don’t you just have a look yourself? It’s easiest via the online Mercurial repository:
http://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/src/ex_cmds.c
Vim delegates the actual sorting to the
qsort()library function.
