Review comment:
       There are some reasons for using unstable_sort.  
   1. `select_nth_unstable_by` is unstable, so using `before.sort_stable_by` 
don't ensure it's stable. Currently we do not have select_nth_stable_by
   2. `sort_unstable` is faster than sort_stable, refer to 
[doc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.sort_unstable)
