Description

In code/data_structures/stack we could also create an efficient program for sorting a stack.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a function to sort a stack using an auxiliary stack. Study the algorithm: pop elements from the original stack and insert them in sorted order into the auxiliary stack. Finally, push back from auxiliary to original. Alternatively, use recursion. Write code in your chosen language, add comments, and include example usage.
