Benchmarking "sort" in JS, ASObC, AS etc

The result is that when you sort a large array in ASObjC, the sorting probably uses a different routine than when you sort a small array – the optimisation is done for you.

Does sortedness of an array (prior to sorting) influence the choice of sorting routine ?

Sorry, I have no idea – the actual process is completely opaque. I can imagine it might if the original array is itself the result of a sort, but I’m just speculating.
