Assume Head node of the circular list contains minimum value

1. Compare circular.Head.Data to linear.Head.Data, if liniar's Data is smaller, replace circular Head, and move linear's pointer to next.
2. Do 1 until linear.Node.Data > circular.Head.Data
3. Do normal merge sort for those 2 under condition of

while (circular.Node.Next != circular.Node.Head) // If it equals to Head, it means it gets back to Head pointer

4. After the while loop, if still linear pointer is in the middle, insert Nodes at the last of cirsular list.

When we merge two lists , we compare the smallest not inserted element of the the two list two decide which will be the new element of the new list. This is done till one gets empty. In this case empty for circular list would mean when iterator becomes equal to head again.

code for inserting a node in sorted cylic list.

void insert(struct node* aNode, int x) {
if (!aNode) {
aNode = (struct node*) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
aNode->data = x;
aNode->next = aNode;
return;
}

struct node* p = aNode;
struct node* prev = NULL;
do {
prev = p;
p = p->next;
if (x <= p->data && x >= prev->data) break;
if ((prev->data > p->data) && (x < p->data || x > prev->data)) break;
} while (p != aNode);

struct node* newNode = (struct node*) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
newNode->data = x;
newNode->next = p;
prev->next = newNode;
}
