Sleep sort (2011)
Sadly, the somewhat lengthy Wikipedia entry for Sleep sort was deleted. Here's archive.org's version:<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110622073615/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_sort" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20110622073615/http://en.wikiped...</a><p>Reading through Wikipedia's existing pages for other esoteric sorts makes me laugh as I did when reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's various entries for scientific theories (e.g. Bistromathics)...There's Bogosort, Stooge sort, American flag sort, and my favorite, "Gnome sort", named thusly because "that is 'how a gnome sorts a line of flower pots'" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome_sort" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome_sort</a>
