The `sort` function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is a special case of `sortBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function. Elements are arranged from lowest to highest, keeping duplicates in the order they appeared in the input (a stable sort).

`dedup l` removes duplicate elements from a list. In particular, it keeps only the first occurrence of each element. It is a special case of `dedupBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test. `dedup` is called `nub` in Haskell.

The `dedupSort` function sorts and removes duplicate elements from a list. In particular, it keeps only the first occurrence of each element.

`dedup l` removes duplicate elements from a list. In particular, it keeps only the first occurrence of each element. `dedup` is stable so the elements in the output are ordered by their first occurrence in the input. If you do not need stability, consider using `dedupSort` which is more efficient. ``` >>> dedup [3, 1, 1, 3] [3, 1] ```

`dedupSort` is a more efficient variant of `dedup` that does not preserve the order of the input elements. Instead the output will be sorted acoording to the builtin Daml-LF ordering. ``` >>> dedupSort [3, 1, 1, 3] [1, 3] ```

Sort the list according to the Daml-LF ordering. Values that are identical according to the builtin Daml-LF ordering are indistinguishable so stability is not relevant here. ``` >>> sort [3,1,2] [1,2,3] ```

Extract the elements after the head of a list, which must be non-empty.

Return all the elements of a list except the last one. The list must be non-empty.

Reverse a list.

List of elements of a structure, from left to right.
