=={{header|REXX}}==
One goal for this REXX program was to include as many different sorts (that sorted arrays and not lists).
 
Because of the disparencies of some sorting algorithms,   the range of numbers was chosen to be   '''5'''   so that the
<br>slower sorts wouldn't consume a lot of time trying to sort larger arrays.
 
The number of ranges can be increased at the expense of a wider display of output.
