Cocktail Sort, the most basic and yet most broken algorithmic sock sorting technique. It's like trying to organize a sock drawer with a Ouija board.
The fundamental problem is that it's just too focused on finding the next "unsorted pair" rather than actually sorting the socks. It's like trying to build a house with a bunch of random LEGO bricks. It'll look nice for one second, but then it'll all come crashing down.
Imagine you've got a drawer full of identical-looking socks. You start with one pair, then another, then another, and another. Before you know it, you've built a tower of socks that's about to topple over. That's what Cocktail Sort does to your sock collection.
Well, we're still working on that. But for now, you might try using our patented Quick Sort, or our Merge Sort. They're both much more reliable, but not as... entertaining.
Or, you know, just sort them by hand. It's not like we have anything better to do.
