For arrays of under 500, bubblesort is a perfectly cromulent algorithm. Considering the price of ram lately, you’d need to consider tradeoffs between space-efficiency and time-efficiency, which rules out mergesort. I’m guessing bogosort is in there as a joke

does excel let you decide which one to use? I figured it would just do quicksort
