ChaoticNeutralCzech, to science_memes in Data Science

I hate when computer scientists use “sorting” for “ordering”. It’s been mistranslated into other languages, too.

LwL,

sort, verb: “to put a number of things in an order or to separate them into groups”

stelelor,

I am very new to the world of CS but I appreciate precise vocabulary. Is my understanding below correct?

  • Sorting = Assigning each object to one category (“bin”).
  • Ordering = Like sorting, but the categories themselves have an inherent hierarchy/order (numerical, alphabetical, etc.)
ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Yes but people say “sorting algorithms” when describibg programs that put elements of a list in the correct order.

Wilzax,

Radix sort is truly a sorting algorithm though, it just results in an ordering.

Not my fault. That’s how time works.

and I am just a recently hired systems administrator that has to deal with my bosses paper notes and the person I replaced lack of documentation
