    The :meth:`sort` method takes optional arguments for controlling the

    Starting with Python 2.3, the :meth:`sort` method is guaranteed to be stable.  A
    sort is stable if it guarantees not to change the relative order of elements
    that compare equal --- this is helpful for sorting in multiple passes (for
