Just to throw this out there...
Bubble sort generally has Unacceptable performance
time for sorting all but very small quantities of
data.
With the input being 5000 emails of a size at least
10-15 characters or more on the average
Bubblesort more or less performs quadratic time
or worse meaning that it is going to take a
lot of time, and just more and more time as you
have more data.
The most effecient routines avoid moving data
as much as possible whereas bubblesort swaps
data around like no tommorow :-P
There are some routines that you could implement
in ColdFusion that would perform better than
Bubblesort (InsertionSort, Shellsort).
Quicksort would probably not perform so well either.
The overhead of custom tag calls is far to expensive
to implement any kind of heavy duty recursive routines.
All that said its just best to use the sorting routines
already available to you unless you are feeling froggy
and want to write a CFX :-D
Just use the sort's available in the database or
in CF as they are already optimized sorting routines
and you should be able to make do with them in most
any case you can come up with.
