===ProxmapSort=== {{Main article|Proxmap sort}} Similar to generic bucket sort as described above, '''ProxmapSort''' works by dividing an array of keys into subarrays via the use of a "map key" function that preserves a partial ordering on the keys; as each key is added to its subarray, insertion sort is used to keep that subarray sorted, resulting in the entire array being in sorted order when ProxmapSort completes. ProxmapSort differs from bucket sorts in its use of the map key to place the data approximately where it belongs in sorted order, producing a "proxmap" β a proximity mapping β of the keys.
