Sorts a slice in-place using an unstable algorithm (does not preserve relative order of equal elements). Time complexity: O(n) best case, O(n log n) worst case and average case. Generally faster than stable sort but order of equal elements is undefined.
Uses pattern-defeating quicksort (PDQ) algorithm which performs well on many data patterns.
For stable sorting that preserves equal element order, use sort.
pub fn sortUnstable(
comptime T: type,
items: []T,
context: anytype,
comptime lessThanFn: fn (@TypeOf(context), lhs: T, rhs: T) bool,
) void

) void {
std.sort.pdq(T, items, context, lessThanFn);
}
