Sorting Algorithm

This is a sorting algorithm.   It may be applied to a set of data in order to sort it.    
For comparing various sorts, see compare sorts.  
For other sorting algorithms,   see sorting algorithms,   or:

Task

Sort an array (or list) of integers in ascending numerical order.



Use a sorting facility provided by the language/library if possible.
