The answer depends on what you mean by the quickest. For most sorting problems, it just does not matter how quick the sort is since it is done infrequently or other operations take appreciably more time anyway. Even in cases in which sorting pace is of the essence, there is no one answers. It depends on not only the size and nature of the data, however also the likely order. No algorithm is best in all cases. There are three sorting techniques in this author's toolbox that are all extremely fast and that are useful in dissimilar situations. Those techniques are quick sort, radix sort, and merge sort.
