Answer / rashid akhtar
We cant sort a singly list list in O(n) that is sure.
We can sort an array in O(k+n) if k is order of n,otherwise
counting sort is also not of O(n).
So moral of story,nobody can sort a singly list in O(n)...

Counting sort is a solution. Kormen 's book will help you.

Answer / hakr
Using Radix sort its the best solution it takes O(n).
typedef struct node *ptr;
struct node{
int element;
ptr next;
};
typedef ptr LIST;
typedef ptr POSITION;
int main()
{
.
.
.
.
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
p=A[i]->next;
while(A[i]->next!=NULL)
{
A[i]->next=p->next;
p->next=NULL;
digit=(p->element/pow(10,j))%10;
InsertLast(B[digit],p);//InsertLast is a function that
takes an int and position and then does as the name tells//
p=A[i]->next;
}
.
.
.
.
}
