Good morning simondev1,
It seems the algorithm would greatly increase validation time.
In particular, if the current limit is removed (as in hardforked proposal) then a 1Tb block can be used to attack the network, since sorting would require looking through the entire block.
Thus, validation time would still limit the practical block sizes that can be deployed with this.
Regards,
