Abstract: A system and method of providing a window sorting mechanism comprises receiving an array having a plurality of objects, wherein each object contains a digit. The digits in the received array are unsorted in association with a desired sorting arrangement. A length of the received array is determined, whereby received array is separated into a plurality of sub-arrays based on the length of the received array. An inter sub-array digit sorting process is performed in a first iteration between a first sub-array and a second sub-array to sort digits in correspondingly positioned objects in accordance with a first comparison rule. A first adjacent-object digit sorting process is performed in a second iteration on the first and second sub-arrays using simultaneously sorting windows of a first digit size in accordance with a second comparison rule. A second adjacent-object digit sorting process is then performed in a third iteration on the first and second sub-arrays using sorting windows of a second digit size.
