Searching allows you to find data that meets specific criteria. Sorting allows you to organize that data, based upon the rules you choose (most common is alphabetical).
When you're searching for something you are simply examining each entity, comparing them with another entity in order to locate a match. When you're sorting entities, you are re-arranging the order of those entities. In both cases you will perform a comparison between two entities at a time, the only real difference is that you do not re-arrange the entities when searching.
More efficient searching and sorting of records in a database can be achieved through the use of indexing. An index creates a data structure that allows the database management system to quickly locate and retrieve specific records without scanning the entire dataset. Additionally, optimized algorithms and data structures, such as B-trees or hash tables, enhance performance by minimizing search times and improving sorting operations. Properly designing the database schema and queries also contributes to efficiency.
