Question About Sorting Methods

TimoAvanF opened this issue · 0 comments

Hi,
Firstly, thanks for the amazing code, it helped me a lot during my thesis project!

However, I have a question regarding the sorting method.

What is the difference between sorting by RATIO or sorting by DIFFERENCE?
In practise, items with the largest difference between sides, will also have the highest ratio, right? Or is this a stupid question where I miss something very obvious?

However, I compared all sorting methods with each other, and saw a major difference in performance

distri_ULD_different_linear_sequences

Thank again for the code. I am looking forward to your answer.

Regards,
Timo
