@richard asked for it on stream, so here it is!
A quick sort algorithm fitted for blocks - the method is available in both ascending and descending order.
The blocks (really only one):
Have fun with it or whatever, peace!

B to organise array and display it.
I think the extension breaks when trying to sort an array that’s already sorted
