Sorting in SAS® is an expensive process in terms of both time and resources consumed. In this session, prepare to explore some of the common and lesser known sorts that SAS provides. Become like the sorting hat in Harry Potter! Instead of waiting with baited breath for your team (or data) to be sorted, get the inside scoop and learn about the dynamic processes that go on behind the scenes during sorting that will enable you to pick the very best sort for your circumstances. Learn about some fantastical, magical SAS sorting teams: bubble sort, quick, threaded and serpentine. Behold the effervescent bubble sort! In a hurry? Take a look at the quick sort. Looking for superior efficiency? Consider the threaded sort. See how the hissing serpentine sort in SAS, like the slithering serpent Nagini sliding surreptitiously through walls, can come in handy! Which sort will you choose – or which sort will choose you?
