Function Details: sorted

Description

Returns a new sorted list from the items in iterable.

Extended Description

The sorted() function returns a new sorted list from the items in the given iterable. It does not modify the original iterable. The function uses a stable sorting algorithm, meaning that when multiple records have the same key, their original order is preserved. The 'key' parameter specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each element. The 'reverse' parameter, if set to True, sorts the list in descending order.
