Which sorting algorithm is easily adaptable to singly linked lists? Why?

Insertion sort is easily adaptable to singly linked list. In this method there is an array link of pointers, one for each of the original array elements. Thus the array can be thought of as a linear link list pointed to by an external pointer first initialized to 0. To insert the k^th element the linked list is traversed until the proper position for x[k] is found, or until the end of the list is reached. At that point x[k] can be inserted into the list by merely adjusting the pointers without shifting any elements in the array which reduces insertion time.
