Difference from selection sort
From the article: "It finds the maximum of the sorted array, places that maximum at the end and sorts the remaining array recursively." How is that not just another name for selection sort? --Damian Yerrick (talk) 02:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
- You are right, that sentence is misleading as it fails to mention the deliberately pessimal way the maximum is determined (and this is what distinguishes slow sort from selection sort). I have removed that sentence. (I think the remaining text of the Algorithm section is an adequate description of the algorithm. Do you agree?) – Tea2min (talk) 12:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

How does it actually work?
The article gives no insight whatsoever to how the algorithm works or why it's slow. The list of steps ("sort the first half" etc) is more confusing than helpful. There should be at least a paragraph giving an overview. ~2026-41916-61 (talk) 13:32, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
