Odd–even sort

In computing, an odd–even sort or odd–even transposition sort (also known as brick sort[self-published source] or parity sort) is a relatively simple sorting algorithm, developed originally for use on parallel processors with local interconnections. It is a comparison sort related to bubble sort, with which it shares many characteristics. It functions by…
