Valery,

I think it complies with the description of 'Selection sort' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort), but with the additional property that your sorting algorithm takes up twice as much memory....

Where selection sort is usually done 'in-place' you set the sorted items aside in an additional part of memory.
