Tbf, Merge Sort has a Big O of n log (n) in all cases, so it's a pretty mid sorting algorithm in general, but it's conceptually straightforward and easy to explain to newbies.

There's no better big O sorting method for generic lists. Heap sort has better averages but the big O is the same in the end.
