Having benchmarked Cubesort with Knight-Tours my amateurish evaluation is of two words: Mutsi! Mutsunka!

My Sandokan (r3fix) is inferior compared to Cubesort, 10,000,000 lines (128 bytes each) were sorted and after that sorted file was sorted once more:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| sorter \ filedataset | KT10000000.txt                      | KT10000000_SORTED.txt     |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Cubesort             | 080 seconds                         | 045 seconds               |
| Windows' sort.exe    | 118 seconds                         | 115 seconds               |
| Sandokan             | 131 seconds; swappings: 36,826,242+ | 114 seconds; swappings: 0 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cubesort is one lovely piece of software, Mr. Hoven I salute you with Beth Ditto's Heavy Cross[^]:

It's a cruel cruel world to face on your own
A heavy cross to carry alone
The lights are on but everyone's gone
And it's cruel
It's a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright but never complete
without you
I chose you
If it's already have been done
Undo it
It takes two
It is up to me and you to proove it
On the rainy nights even the coldest days
you're moments ago but seconds away
The principle of Nature it's true but it's a cruel world
See we can play it safe or play it cool
Follow the leader or make up all the rules
Whatever you want the choice is yours
So choose me
I chose you

"If it's already have been done... undo it." - I wish Beth was into programming.

The most decent Quicksort I know is this:
