I don't have an algorithm but I have an implementation :)
def sort2(numbers):
"sort n positive integers in O(n) provided that they are all < n^2"
N = len(numbers)
units = [[] for i in xrange(N)]
tens = [[] for i in xrange(N)]
for n in numbers:
units[n % N].append(n)
for l in units:
for n in l:
tens[n / N].append(n)
return [n for l in tens for n in l]
