Write a C ++ program to implement Merge Sort algorithm to efficiently handle an input array that may contain duplicate elements. The goal is to modify the algorithm in such a way that duplicate elements appear in the sorted array in the same order as they appear in the input.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
void merge(int arr[], int l, int m, int r)
{
    int i, j, k;
    int n1 = m - l + 1;
    int n2 =  r - m;
 
    int L[n1], R[n2];
 
    for (i = 0; i < n1; i++)
        L[i] = arr[l + i];
    for (j = 0; j < n2; j++)
        R[j] = arr[m + 1+ j];
 
    i = 0;
    j = 0;
    k = l;
    while (i < n1 && j < n2)
    {
        if (L[i] <= R[j])
        {
            arr[k] = L[i];
            i++;
        }
        else
        {
            arr[k] = R[j];
            j++;
        }
        k++;
    }
 
    while (
