Adaptive heap sort
Appearance
The adaptive heap sort is a sorting algorithm that is similar to heap sort, but uses a randomized binary search tree, or RBST, to structure the input according to any preexisting order. The RBST is used to select candidates that are put into the heap, so the heap doesn't need to keep track of all elements.
