==Input==&lt;br /&gt;
# An [[Sets and sequences#Ordered and sorted sequences|ordered sequence]] &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of length &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
# A definition of [[Genericity#Comparison|comparison]] on the component type of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Output==&lt;br /&gt;
A permutation of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; such that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S[i] \le S[i+1]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; for all &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;i\in \{1,...,n-1\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Objective==&lt;br /&gt;
N/A&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Complexity==&lt;br /&gt;
Polynomial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Known algorithms==&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Bubblesort]]&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Mergesort]]&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Quicksort]]&lt;br /&gt;
# [[Selection sort]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Remark==&lt;br /&gt;
Some algorithms could be formulated in a much simpler way in case each key occurs at most once in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Here all algorithms are formulated for the general case of arbitrary multiplicities. Alternatively, there are three options to make each key unique:&lt;br /&gt;
# An additional generated key, for example, student ID or tax file number.&lt;br /&gt;
# If the keys are associated with values, they are additionally compared if the keys of two items are identical (e.g. date of birth and home address, if last and first names of two persons are identical).&lt;br /&gt;
# If the keys are '''not''' associated with values, we may remove the duplicates and store their multiplicities separately.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
