Right, that's why I wrote "a generic sorting algorithm". Your case adds the integer limit which allows it to avoid O(nlogn) minimum.

You can use Radix sort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort to lower the memory requirement for limited bit-width integers. But there are more practical o(n log n) methods for sorting integers.

Well optimized radix sorts are actually pretty fast (assuming you have the proper fallbacks to quicksort/insertion sort to deal with medium/small sizes)
