<dt><a name="stable" id="stable"></a><b>stable sort:</b>
A sorting approach that preserves pre-existing order.
If there are two elements with identical keys
in a list that is later stably sorted,
whichever came first in the initial list will come first in a stably sorted list.
The algorithms provided here provide no such guarantee; items with identical keys
will have arbitrary resulting order relative to each other.</dt>
