Sorting Torrents with sort_torrents

Overview

The sort_torrents function sorts a set of Torrent objects by their resolution and then by rank, returning a dictionary where each torrent's infohash serves as the key. Torrents are first categorized into resolution buckets, with higher resolutions receiving higher priority. Within each resolution group, torrents are sorted by rank in descending order. If a torrent lacks a rank, it is treated as having an unknown rank, and is placed at the bottom of the list. The function ensures that only valid sets of Torrent objects are processed, raising a TypeError otherwise. This sorting helps prioritize higher-quality torrents for easier selection.
