It’s missing the original, before being reduced to data, being completely different from the “story”.

Not to mention that the story quite obviously does not fit the data at all.

I hate when computer scientists use “sorting” for “ordering”. It’s been mistranslated into other languages, too.

I am very new to the world of CS but I appreciate precise vocabulary. Is my understanding below correct?

  • Sorting = Assigning each object to one category (“bin”).

  • Ordering = Like sorting, but the categories themselves have an inherent hierarchy/order (numerical, alphabetical, etc.)

Yes but people say “sorting algorithms” when describibg programs that put elements of a list in the correct order.
