How is this different from Bogosort?

I just changed the description to show how. Trying out permutations in any ordered fashion is not the same as randomly shuffling (which is what bogosort does).--Mwn3d 19:13, 7 May 2008 (MDT)

The Tcl example does not contain an explicit loop. It seems unlikely to me that "firstperm" is itself doing a permutation sort, and a web search didn't turn up anything informative (I don't know Tcl myself). Could someone who knows more add explanation/mark incorrect/fix? --Kevin Reid 23:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
