Bead-Sort: A Natural Sorting Algorithm

Nature is not only a source of minerals and precious stones but is also a mine of algorithms. By observing and studying natural phenomena, computer algorithms can be extracted. In this note, a simple natural phenomenon is used to design a sorting algorithm for positive integers, called here Bead
