A recursive implementation of the insertion sort algorithm
from __future__ import annotations
def rec_insertion_sort(collection: list, n: int):
    Given a collection of numbers and its length, sorts the collections
    in ascending order
    :param collection: A mutable collection of comparable elements
    :param n: The length of collections
    >>> col = [1, 2, 1]
    >>> rec_insertion_sort(col, len(col))
    >>> col
    [1, 1, 2]
    >>> col = [2, 1, 0, -1, -2]
    >>> rec_insertion_sort(col, len(col))
    >>> col
    [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]
    >>> col = [1]
    >>> rec_insertion_sort(col, len(col))
    >>> col
    # Checks if the entire collection has been sorted
    if len(collection) <= 1 or n <= 1:
        return
    insert_next(collection, n - 1)
    rec_insertion_sort(collection, n - 1)

    Inserts the '(index-1)th' element into place
