    Try a selection, shell, or quick sort. The efficiency of sorts depends a lot on the size of the data set involved.

    You should be able to track down sorting algorithms by searching the Internet.
    I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P

    Bubble Sort is a Bubble Sort. The newest is the same one I learned in 1974. Efficiency is not the bubble sort's forte.

    >most efficient type of bubble Sort
    The most efficient bubble sort is the one you don't use. If you must learn one of the quadratic sorts, learn the insertion sort. It is the most commonly used for finalizing the more powerful sorting algorithms, and can be adapted to shell sort with minimal effort.
    My best code is written with the delete key.
