Answer / pavan
If the Data structures that we are sorting are big and
located at different places then I prefer sorting pointers
rather than data itself

Answer / kumar gaurav
if the data structure is too large,and the pointers refer to
many data then if we sort pointers then,we can easily know
where to start at,it will be very beneficial,and sorting the
elements will take a much longer time,so sorting off
elements is not beneficial

Answer / basav (shiv shankar)
It can be used when we store data elements at the bottom.
i.e., while storing data/records at the leaf level. Here we
generally store pointers in nodes in sorted order to make
sure the linear order of records.
Example, B+ trees.

Answer / yenealem
using pointers makes easier data manipulation on data
structuring. Therefore, when one uses array of pointers in
sorting data makes data structuring easier.Furthermore,
When pointers are arranged in array they are easier for
arithmetic operation.
