Same as MC-268417. I appreciate that you can sort entities by distance but why does Minecraft use the Bogosort algorithm? This algorithm is very inefficient unless you are lucky.
To reproduce just run a command with [c=10] like for example /say @e[c=10] multiple times.
Observed Results: The time how long it takes to sort the entities will be random.
Expected Results: The time how long it takes to sort the entities is not random.

Your report does not contain enough information to understand or reproduce the problem.
In general, the time required for any sort will depend on the number of items to be sorted.
This appears to be more a feedback report than a bug report.
Please add the following information to the Description, as shown here:
Steps to Reproduce:

My statement from MC-268417 partially applies here: If Minecraft would use Bogosort, then running /say @e[c=100] should take longer than the heat death of the universe. However, as one can observe, it does not take that long and is done almost instantly.
How are you actually "timing" these commands?
How long are they taking to complete for you?
Please include this information in the list of steps to reproduce the issue and results sections.
Depending on the sorting algorithm, the time to complete is not necessarily always the same, but that is not a reason to assume that a "bogosort" or any other specific method is being used.
