I recall one being done at Faultline Frolic a few years ago, and I posted
to their FB group. The response that I got there was that it was called by
Nils, and might be named Bubble Network. It involved doing a swing where
the end position was based on height, not dance role, such that shorter
dancers ended at the bottom of the hall and taller dancers at the top.

Well, here's a stab at a Bubble Sort contra.
It's just a theoretical
exercise. As with any sorting dance, I guess, a defect is that once you're
sorted you just keep dancing with the same people. (At school we danced in
small groups and kids turned their backs and stopped dancing to indicate
they knew they were sorted and would not change places anymore.)
Sort of a Contra Richard Allen Fischer duple (proper/improper
irrelevant and swings can end with either person on either side)
A1 Balance and swing neighbor
A2 Long lines fwd & back; long lines fwd and back and if shorter neighbor
is not on the right do a roll-away with a half sashay as you come back
(Shorter dancer rolls to right)
B1 Circle left; left hand star
B2 Allemande right with next neighbor, allemande left with current
neighbor
Note: (if I'm picturing it right) Do not cross over at the top! Do cross
over at the bottom!
Would this work? I think I'm just adapting Jeff and Ben's dance and
squishing their U into a contra set.

I've heard people saying Will or Nils called
a bubble sort contra dance.
Googling found this (semi)circle dance (
http://www.jefftk.com/contras/dances/labubblesort). Will Mentor said he
danced one Nils called, but it was a contra. No word back from Nils yet.
Any one on the list seen a bubble sort contra?
