A telemetry logging system for a space probe records four unsorted data packet sizes, in kilobytes: [62,15,94,37][62, 15, 94, 37][62,15,94,37].
An algorithm is required to sort these values in ascending order.
Explain how the merge sort algorithm works, referencing this specific list of numbers to illustrate each stage of the process.
