This algorithm sorts a collection by comparing adjacent elements.
When it finds that order is not respected, it moves the element compared
backward until order is right.
It then goes back directly to element initial position resuming forward comparison.

should be "it moves the element by comparing backward until the order is right and insert it there. It then goes back to the element's initial position and resumes forward comparison."

Otherwise, the English sounds weird here.
