4.8 Sorting Algorithms in C Sharp with NSort
The NSort Library is a collection of sort methods utilizing customizable swap and compare methods. You can select an appropriate sort algorithm based on the data requirements, and, for complex data types, you can implement a custom comparer. You can also customize the swap method to accommodate any special requirements when swapping two data elements and easily exchange one sort algorithm for another using the ISort interface.

Getting Started
NSort’s sorting algorithms were written in C# with version 1.1 of the .NET Framework. They can also be used with C# 2.0 and version 2.0 of the .NET Framework, but generics are not supported. A separate version supporting generics is available from http://www.projectdistributor.net/Projects/Project.aspx?projectId=108.
To use the sorting algorithms, add a reference to the NSort assembly to your project’s assembly references. Alternatively, you can add the NSort.csproj file to your solution.
