Hi everybody! In my latest [article](https://www.kirupa.com/sorts/timsort.htm) (and [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dg41UEK3Io)), I talk about Timsort and how it works to be one of the fastest sorting algorithms:

Now, Timsort is a fairly complex sorting algorithm. Instead of rewriting it myself for the tutorial, I decided to take a popular [node version](https://github.com/mziccard/node-timsort) and turn it into a JS version that runs in the browser.

This “Timsort in the browser” version can be seen here:

Hope you all find it helpful 🙂
