/**
  *  @function Timsort is a hybrid stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort,
  *  designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data.
  *  It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language.
  *  It is also used to sort arrays of non-primitive type in Java SE 7,
  *  on the Android platform, in GNU Octave, on V8, Swift and Rust.
  *  1) It sorts small partitions using Insertion Sort.
  *  2) Merges the partition using Merge Sort.
  *  @see [Timsort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort)
  *  @param {Array} array
