Abstract—The problem of assigning purchases among multiple offers lots is easy and quick to resolve since its underlying complexity is related to the elected ordination algorithm. We have chosen a programming language which implements the algorithm "merge sort" and whose behavior in the worst case scenario is O (N log N). This algorithm is already implemented in sophisticated languages such as Perl, Phyton or Java.
Index Terms—Lots, reverse auction, sorting method.
