#72Some say it's still running bogosort to this day...

#73Doesn't seem to work. Tried with input ["z","b","a","c","d"] and returns the same ["z","b","a" "c","d"] as the output, using StackOverflow answer 4833835
For string sorts, i needed to keep running about 5 or 6 times until a sorted result was found.

It's all fun and games until the next JavaScript sandbox busting zero day drops.
If I had that kind of exploit I surely wouldn't post it on stackoverflow.
Why not? They even have a tag for it

#75this reminds me of the 4chan's sleepsort: for each number $n in the array, spin a thread that sleeps $n and then append $n to the result array.

#76Hey, creator here! I built this a few years ago on a whim, and am surprised how well it still works. Thanks for sharing again :) (Psst, if you're an engineer and like dev tools, I'm hiring! https://readme.io/careers )
You might want to update the warning:
Is it safe?
Uh… it evals both user input and random code, unchecked, from an external site. This is what the security-minded folks writing anti virus software would refer to as: hey, our unpacker does that too! In kernel mode if we're from symantec! Must be perfectly safe!
Yeah, cheap shot, I know ;-)

Ah you're absolutely right, didn't see the "Didn't work? Try the next answer" button

#79The worst part about this is that there is an existing thread from 2013 directly on the site linked.

Maybe someone should create a site like this that runs all security exploits on SO in your browser.
