Lists, which the program is using can store duplicate values, as they are different because they are at different indexes (Lists have an order). Sets, which is what the program uses to dedup, do not store duplicate values, but also does not maintain an order (sets are built on hash tables). Passing the data through a set before sorting removes all the duplicates. Lists would be broken if they did not store duplicates. The sort function would be broken if it eliminated duplicates.
