hmmm - have you looked at postman's sort. This was the subject of an article in 1992 C user's journal and subsequently available as a commercial product. see www.rrsd.com.
Yes. As I believe I mentioned in a previous posting, string_sort will probably look much like postman's sort; the main difference would probably be worst-case behavior handling. If you (or anyone else) would like to write a generic string_sort, you're welcome to. I'm mostly interested in doing it to create a suite of hybrid sorting algorithms.
