 is no better than bubble sort.

+    Sort a list in place using the odd-even transposition sort algorithm.
+
+    The algorithm alternates between comparing-and-swapping even-indexed and
+    odd-indexed adjacent pairs until the collection is fully sorted.  Because
+    each pass compares a disjoint set of pairs, the passes can be parallelized;
+    this implementation walks the pairs sequentially.
