The article should be organized differently

I think it would be far better to organize the different sort algorithms under general classes of algorithms like Divide and conquer, Greedy methods, and similar. Or perhaps the complexity.

Also, not all implementations of quicksort perform swaps.

Also, AFAIK, "Hash-sort" is the most common term for what the article terms "Sorting by Distribution".
