Stable sorting algorithms maintain the relative order of records with equal keys, ensuring that the original sequence of equal elements is preserved. This property is essential in multi-level sorting tasks where the order of previous sorts must be retained for consistency and accuracy.

Stable Sorting

Stable sorting algorithms maintain the relative order of records with equal keys, ensuring that equal elements remain in the same order as they were in the input. This property is crucial in applications where the secondary order of elements needs to be preserved for consistency or further processing.
