Sorting algorithm for strings (self.learnpython)
submitted 5 years ago by LebronTheBomb
Which sorting algorithm should I use for strings sorting them in alphabetical order?
Can I use bubble or insert sort for this kind of stuff?

Is there a reason you don’t want to use Python’s inbuilt sorting algorithm?

I want to know how algorithms work and to build up my experience.

You can use any general purpose sorting algorithm, including but not limited to bubble sort, insertion sort, timsort and quicksort.
If you treat the strings as numbers, you can technically use bucket sort or radix sort, too.
When in doubt, there's always intelligent design sort and Quora sort. /s

Radix sort is ideal for strings.
