I never look at other people's code.

I had never considered the possibility of implementing QuickSort iteratively. I've just been using HeapSort for years and not giving any thought to the subject of sorting. All in all, sorting and searching algorithms aren't something I worry about. So long as a programmer isn't using a BubbleSort, pretty much any sorting algorithm should be adequate for most applications.

I might implement an iterative QuickSort and also a MergeSort for the lists, as this thread has gotten my curiosity piqued on the subject --- if I do though, I won't look at anybody else's code, but I'll just figure it out myself --- and my code will be better than anybody else's when I'm done.
