External sorting algorithm Posted by ignaz on 2 Mar 2005 at 8:14 AM
Maybe someone knows an external sort algorithm?
I don't have an idea how to make one...
There's a huge file with numbers and I need to sort them out, but number count is giant.

I would split the list into more managable parts (for instance 1000 numbers) and save those into separate files. Then you can sort those files 1 at the time. Finally you can open a number of those files and merge those together while keeping them sorted. You can continue doing this until all the numbers are back into 1 file.
