Stable order mean the keys will return in some kind of ordering (not
alphanumeric, not numeric,), just in certain order.
For example, if you use setKeys("","") as first batch call and you got
following result.
keyabc
key456
keydsg
key8jkg
keyag87
key45s
...
Then if you call with setKeys("keydsg","") again, you will get following
result.
keydsg
key8jkg
keyag87
key45s
...
