That's a fun two minutes for any computer scientist drum and bass fan.
Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.
I was confused at first at what the different "levels" mean. But they're not levels, they're just indices.

I would suggest the author changes the UI to just show a number instead of a bar, to make this clearer.

It’s sorting by time
It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.
I just put on a Venetian Snares album (Rossz Csillag Alatt Született) and thought I'd come back here to say the same as you have!

I'd also add: It's like Aaron's whole career is slightly resting atop Amen Break, at least as far back as (first I heard and still my favorite) The Chocolate Wheelchair Album! Amazing detailed work with Amen and similar samples that's for sure!

I can't help laughing. This is great.

I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.

No sound on iPhone. Shame Apple is so hostile to the web. Tragic really.
I would have expected it to be terrible to listen to, but it was pretty nice.
I need WebGL to play audio on HTML pages now?
Not playing it all the way through at the end is diabolical.
This deserves the top spot on the front page!

Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?

-100 points for not having a volume slider.
I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end

tbh i expect it to be much more interesting if doing other kind of sorts
This afternoon I was getting the oil changed for my car, and while I was in the waiting room the Amen Break started playing from a nearby speaker.
This is unreasonably fun.
At first I didn't understand, but then I did.
