Question

Which sorting algorithm is used by .NET\'s Array.Sort() method?

Answer 1

Actually, It's not that easy as it's seems. It looks like .NET is implementing a set of different sorting algorithms depending on the input and his size. I used to decompile Array.Sort() from CLR and it seems that they are using both Heap, Insertion and Quicksort.
