+# Sorting Algorithms
+Sorting is the process of putting data in a specific order. The way to arrange data in a specific order
+is specified by the sorting algorithm. The most typical orders are lexical or numerical. The significance
+of sorting lies in the fact that, if data is stored in a sorted manner, data searching can be highly optimised.
+Another use for sorting is to represent data in a more readable manner.
+
+This section contains a lot of important algorithms that helps us to use sorting algorithms in various scenarios.
