Description

Shows a bar-swapping animation. First the list is broken into thirds, each sorted. Then halves, each sorted. And finally the full list sorted.

Evaluation

No explanation (other than color) of what is taking place. Combined with the lack of stepwise animation, this is difficult to follow unless you already understand Shell sorting. But it is a helpful illustration to supplement a static description of shellsort.
