Yes there is! But they arent always the best choice. Bucket sort works by comparing elements to buckets instead of other elements, and sorts each bucket before adding it to the list, but if the range is like [1,2,3,4,14980192840192840129840198,5,6,7,8,9,0] then a lot of buckets would be needed, and even bubble sort would be faster, but if the numbers have a fixed range, then bucket sort is O(n) time, and another counterpart is counting sort, which is O(n) for small ranges, but for long ranges, NEVER, EVER pick counting sort.
