Description

When I execute the following code:

my_list = [ ["u",1], ["u",2], ["a",1], ["d", 1], ["a",2],["d",2]]
collect(IterTools.groupby(s->s[1], my_list))

I get as output:

 [["u", 1], ["u", 2]]
 [["a", 1]]
 [["d", 1]]
 [["a", 2]]
 [["d", 2]]

So it seems that the items with key a and d are not properly grouped together.

Environment:
Julia v1.10.9
itertools v1.10.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided Julia v1.10.9 example at the IterTools.groupby entry point and inspect its current grouping behavior. Done means items sharing keys across separated runs are grouped together, with the resulting behavior covered by an appropriate test.
