initiallyTreat data as N sorted collections that are each one datum long. mergeMerge each consecutive pair of collections to form sorted collections twice as large
repeatrepeat the merge step over and over until a single sorted collection is formed.
A more efficient sorting algorithm results from repeatedly merging small sorted lists to make larger sorted lists.

Partitioning is done with respect to a pivot, which is one value of the collection being partitioned.
Another efficient sorting algorithm results from recursively partitioning collections into two smaller groups until every group is of size one (singleton groups), then concatenating all of the singleton groups.

Quicksort is more difficult to anlyze.
However, in practice ...
