Changes to Sorting Algorithm Dropdown Menu #186

Closed skbedi closed 1 month ago

skbedi commented 11 months ago

Changes:

Sorting Algos are now sorted by complexity and then alphabetical order
Grid is now a list of all the sorting algos in order

Why: (resolves #175)

This issue asked for improvement in the selection dropdown so it is easier to find the algorithms and a design change "to fit all algorithms and their names"
This new design resolves both of these issues

How:

after creating new branch called dropdown, first sorted the algorithms in algs.py (comments in the doc show how)
in display.py altered class DropdownBox(InputBox): to fit new requirements.

Testing:

visually tested list to make sure all options were available and clickable
clicking on each option chose the right sorting algo.
