Remarks for
List<T>.Sortincorrectly state that the method's worst-case time complexity is O(n2). This is probably a leftover from when it used just the basic quicksort.Array.Sortis technically not wrong:However, since insertion sort is limited to small arrays and doesn't influence the big O, it is just as correct to simply state that the method is an O(n log n) operation.
