LegacyAdapters.sortStable() method

Warning: This API is now obsolete.

Use native Array.sort(), since Node < 14 is no longer supported

Prior to Node 11.x, the Array.sort() algorithm is not guaranteed to be stable. If you need a stable sort, you can use sortStable() as a workaround.

Signature:

static sortStable<T>(array: T[], compare?: (a: T, b: T) => number): void;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
array	T[]
compare	(a: T, b: T) => number	(Optional)

Returns:

void

Remarks

On NodeJS 11.x and later, this method simply calls the native Array.sort().
