The quick case in detail::argsort_iter had no break, so it fell through to the stable case. Every argsort with sorting_method::quick, the default, ran std::sort and then std::stable_sort on the same indices. The result was still a valid ordering, but the work roughly doubled. Add the missing break statements. The new test counts the comparisons made by the quick path and checks them against a plain std::sort on the same data. On master it fails with 108 comparisons against 70.
