Every two-item group is merged, creating groups of four and so on until there is one ordered list. See sort algorithm and merge.merge sort [′mərj ‚sȯrt] (computer science) To produce a single sequence of items ordered according to some rule, from two or more previously ordered or unordered sequences, without changing the items in size, structure, or total number; although more than one pass may be required for a complete sort, items are selected during each pass on the basis of the entire key.
