Default Sorting Algorithm required!


Hi All


Whilst Excel sorting is extremely quick, I sometimes have a need t
sort arrays (and reasonably large ones at that say of the order o
30000 Excel rows and 10 Excel columns sorted by 1 or 2 columns).
tried to do that in VBA Excel for an array of 5500 rows and 10 column
and it took around 5 minutes but Excel sorted the same data in les
than a minute. So in this instance, I did take that option but this ma
not be always possible or feasible!

I am advised that quicksort is pretty efficient for unsorted dat
(whilst performing poorly for nearly sorted dataset - which more tha
likely would never be the case for my dataset) and counting sort i
lighting fast, can anyone help me write (relatively easily) a VBA cod
for either of these sort procedures or gulde me to a website where som
assitance can be available?

For the reason stated above, I would additionally like to be able t
sort arrays using one of the 2 alternatives, if possible!

Any assistance or help shall be highly valued.


Best regards


Deepak Agarwa
