New Title?

Nice problem. What would you think of 'Interactive sort' or 'User defined sorting' as a title? One minor thing is the description says "the user states which item is less than, equal to, or greater than the other". Should it just be less than? It is interesting seeing the different approaches and how the questions are ordered. Garbanzo (talk) 06:13, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Garbanzo, I think of the intaractive nature and the pair comparisons as being important "Order by interactive pair comparisons" might be more descriptive, but is even longer. --Paddy3118 (talk) 19:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

On comparison questions: I didn't want to restrict or dictate an algorithm to use beyond something that didn't just blindly ask comparisons on all possible pairs.I knew one way to do it, others can find better ways for their needs and languages.

Inspiration for this task

I helped someone out on Stack Overflow which got me thinking. It's not the same problem although solutions for this should work for that.
