Thanks for that.
I for one hate learning something by text only, as you can sometimes mis-interprate it
(something I do more often than I would like!), but if simple straight forward visuals are
included (or examples) I can often understand things much quicker.
Bubblesort is nice and easy to understand :)
I have bookmarked that page and will look up the other sorting methods once I have more
time on my hands.

This was a totally serendipitous find - I was just catching up on this
week's Python news.
