hello.

This is the problem I ran into long time ago. I thought I may ask your for your ideas. assume I have very small set of numbers (integers), 4 or 8 elements, that need to be sorted, fast. what would be the best approach/algorithm? my approach was to use the max/min functions only.

At this point it becomes somewhat hardware dependent , so let us assume Intel 64-bit processor with SSE3 .

Thanks
