You have a dataset of students with names and test scores. How would you sort this dataset first by scores (descending) and then by names (alphabetically)? Which sorting algorithm would you use to maintain stability?
💡 Hint: Consider stability in sorting when equal elements exist.
Imagine you are developing a function to sort movie titles by release date and then by genre. If some movies are released on the same date, how will stability in your sorting algorithm impact user experience?
