Peters, Tim. „[Python-Dev] Sorting”. Python Developers Mailinglist. Приступљено 24. 2. 2011. „[Timsort] also has good aspects: It's stable (items that compare equal retain their relative order, so, e.g., if you sort first on zip code, and a second time on name, people with the same name still appear in order of increasing zip code; this is important in apps that, e.g., refine the results of queries based on user input). ... It has no bad cases (O(N log N) is worst case; N-1 compares is best).”
