Jan 19, 2015 at 9:50 comment added BlamKiwi please ignore me, I overlooked the fact that the sub arrays are sorted. As Ixrec suggests MergeSort (K-Way even) or Polyphase is likely to be the best solution.
Jan 19, 2015 at 5:59 comment added Nick elements are strings, but I am curious how radix can help
Jan 19, 2015 at 5:46 comment added BlamKiwi What's the type of elements you are sorting over. Is a Radix Sort suitable?
Jan 18, 2015 at 20:42 comment added Nick N is number of elements. Hashtable fits in memory. Buckets are fixed and because of this usually will be 1M or more. Count of the elements - unknown
