Choosing the wrong sorting algorithm can lead to memory spikes, UI frame drops, and battery drain, especially on mobile devices.</p> <p>Most modern languages (including Swift) abstract sorting behind a simple <code>.sort()</code> method. However, understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical when building custom data pipelines, handling massive data sets, or optimizing for specific input distributions.</p>
