There are numerous algorithms for searching and sorting, some of which are rather unique and designed for specific collections of data. Search the Web for 2 sorting algorithms that work best with 2 different data collections and then test them with each others data. Compare and contrast the results of this test and discuss why you got the results that you did. Submit the data files, sort algorithms and the program you used to test them.
