[docs] [issue22237] sorted() docs should state that the sort is stable

[Wilfred Hughes]

New submission from Wilfred Hughes:

According to https://wiki.python.org/moin/HowTo/Sorting/#Sort_Stability_and_Complex_Sorts and Alex Martelli: http://stackoverflow.com/q/1915376/509706, Python's sorted() is stable. It would be great to update the docs for sorted() to state this.
