Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Bucket sort is one of the most famous sorting algorithm, which runs in O(k + n)-time where k is the number of buckets and n is the number of items. In this framework, we need a unit time to put an item into a bucket. In this report, we present a new framework of sorting, “physical bucket sort,”where we need a moving time: to put an item into a bucket we must stand by the bucket and to move from bucket i to bucket j, we need |i- j|-time, in addition to the putting time. To postpone an item to the bottom of the pile of items is allowed, but it also needs a unit time. This is a simple formulation of sorting a pile of reports by their score. A trivial upper bound of the running time of physical bucket sort is O(kn). In this report, we show an O(n√k)-time algorithm and prove it the best possible. We also consider another model in which an operation to pick-up all items in a bucket
by paying a unit time is allowed. In the second model, we show an O(n log k)-time algorithm and prove that it is the best possible also.
