Description

Very simple priority queue demonstration. This is not a heap-based priority queue, but merely a sorted queue that inserts new elements by swapping elements from the front.

Evaluation

Strengths: Colored, and pseudocode is provided as the visualization is stepped through. Weaknesses: No "step" button, the operation button must be clicked multiple times to step through. This is a problem because if you don't stop at the end of an insert (which is hard to recognize), a new copy of the same record will be inserted.
