Two hybrid methods of distributive sort and quicksort are given. The first method sorts an array of records and the second one sorts a linearly linked list in a stable way. The expected running rime of the methods is O(n) for n records and for a wide class of distributions of the keys (including all bounded densities with a compact support). For most other distributions the running time is O(n log n), and the worst case rime is O(n 2 )
