Hi,
Hope that you can help me with this one. Relative to what I have read "Quicksort" it is a very good sorting algorithm. However, there can be trouble if there is a high level of duplicates. I have 2 questions based upon this Q1: Can anyone recommend a good sorting algorithm that works well with a high level of duplicates are present? Q2: At what point should one considered moving from quicksort -> other algorithm that works well with duplicates? Are there any useful metrics in determining the level of duplicates e.g. Duplicate Level = Total # of Duplicates / Total quantity of Elements At what point should you consider crossing over? Thanks for any comments/suggestions/user-experiences offered.
