        <label>Abstract</label>
        <p>The use of encryption methods such as secure multiparty computation is an important issue in applications. Applications that use encryption of information require special algorithms of sorting data in order to preserve the secrecy of the information. This proposition is composed for parallel architectures. Presented algorithm works with a number of logical processors. Operations are flexibly distributed among them. Therefore sorting of data sets takes less time. Results of the experimental tests confirm the effectiveness of the proposed flexible division of tasks between logical processors and show that this proposition is a valuable method that can find many practical applications in high performance computing.</p>
