We give the first sorting algorithm with bounds in terms of higher-order
entropies: let $S$ be a sequence of length $m$ containing $n$ distinct elements
and let (H_\ell (S)) be the $\ell$th-order empirical entropy of $S$, with
(n^{\ell + 1} \log n \in O (m)); our algorithm sorts $S$ using ((H_\ell (S) + O
(1)) m) comparisons.
