why TRUE quicksort 3-ways is my standard when needed

[sam707]

why TRUE quicksort 3-ways is my standard when needed instead of mergesort (sometimes also called quicksort, in a false namming approach)

in the given below pdf, L is lenght, r is pivot (usually length div 2 at start of sorting).

But I want my sorting to be stable

At least for user data

I fully agree. What a sheer st*pid.... 

sam707 lost the plot completely. Some further education on sorts is sort of in place

Questions for sam707:
- which sort to use for a 5 item listbox ?
- How do you sort sequential data without risk of information loss?
- What is the most memory efficient sort?
- What is the most efficient sort for a linked list?
- How does your sort perform in view of your storage medium?

If a quicksort was so superior everybody would use it all the time, yes?
Let me put you out of your misery. The answer is no.

ask NASA, ORACLE and all others, dear dumbassES , not me LMFAO

if sorting means to peeps like you unshufling 5 last hollidays photos, i really do complain you...when I do sort things, i mean thousands or billions things, professional way!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Considering that, nothing NEVER, could supersede TRUE qsort. just FACT

I gave linkS, I gave full articles, I even gave a site to test it, and you all bark like chiwawas on a broken bone with NO reference like I gave HAHAHAHA
who needs to learn then?
Enjoy 

in short: I have SOLID links with maths explainations and graphics, and your only "arguments" are a 

c'mon, you made my day, lil dumbasses
