Why should you use stem and leaf plots in data sorting?

Answer:

it is simply another way to plot data and look at the distribution. It is similar to a histogram except the leaves are horizontal instead of vertical. The advantage is in a stem and leaf plot you have listed all the values, unlike a histogram which gives you a range of values the data fall into.
