📊 There's a smart way to line things up! In Swap by Hand, swap bars only with their neighbors to sort from smallest to largest — match the minimum moves to earn a ✨. 🤖 In Like a Computer, watch how a machine sorts step-by-step. Compare mixed and sorted lines to see that swap counts change, but comparison counts stay the same — computers can't see ahead without checking! 🎯 In Set Rules, pick your sorting style. Without rules, 100 might strangely end up before 9 — build your own to see why! Made with code · Remix it to create your own line!
