COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN AN API ENDPOINT THAT SORTS A LIST OF USER OBJECTS BASED ON VARIOUS CRITERIA SENT AS QUERY PARAMETERS, AND WHAT ALGORITHM WOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR SORTING?

I would create an API endpoint that accepts query parameters for the sorting criteria, such as name, age, or registration date. For sorting, I would use a stable sorting algorithm like Timsort, which is efficient and performs well on real-world data sets, especially when there are many duplicates.
