Algorithmic List and Dict Problem

MediumPython

Problem

Solve an algorithmic problem involving list manipulation or dictionary lookups. Implement order_items(items, priority), returning a new list sorted by each item's integer priority. Items missing from priority must appear after prioritized items, and relative order must remain stable for equal or missing priorities.

Input/output contract: items is a list of strings and priority is a dictionary mapping strings to integers. Return a list of strings.

Constraints

0 <= len(items) <= 1000
Each item is a string
priority maps strings to integer priorities
An item may be absent from priority
Return a new list and do not modify items

def order_items(items, priority):
