Check stability. Extend your check() method from Exercise to call sort() for a given array and return true if sort() sorts the array in order in a stable manner, false otherwise. Do not assume that sort() is restricted to move data only with exch().

Exercise

Unbiased election. In order to thwart bias against candidates whose names appear toward the end of the alphabet, California sorted the candidates appearing on its 2003 gubernatorial ballot by using the following order of characters:

R W Q O J M V A H B S G Z X N T C I E K U P D Y F L

Create a data type where this is the natural order and write a client California with a single static method main() that sorts strings according to this ordering. Assume that each string is composed solely of uppercase letters.
