What is stable?

The 'stable' npm package provides stable sorting algorithms. Stable sorting ensures that equal elements retain their relative order after sorting. This is important when sorting by multiple criteria, where the secondary sort should not disturb the order of the primary sort.

What are stable's main functionalities?

stable sorting

This feature allows you to sort an array of objects or values in a stable manner, meaning that the original order of equivalent elements is preserved. The code sample demonstrates sorting an array of objects by the 'age' property.

const stable = require('stable');
const arr = [{name: 'John', age: 45}, {name: 'Jane', age: 45}, {name: 'Joe', age: 30}];
const sortedByAge = stable(arr, (a, b) => a.age - b.age);

in-place stable sorting

This feature provides an in-place stable sort, which means the original array is sorted without creating a copy. The code sample demonstrates sorting an array of numbers in ascending order.

const stable = require('stable');
const arr = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9];
stable.inplace(arr, (a, b) => a - b);
