[Javascript] Avoid mutation, Array.prototype.toSorted() vs sort()
sort(), mutates the original array, and return the reference to original array and sorted.
The toSorted() method of Array instances is the copying version of the sort() method. It returns a new array with the elements sorted in ascending order.
const months = ["Mar", "Jan", "Feb", "Dec"];
const sortedMonths = months.toSorted();
console.log(sortedMonths); // ['Dec', 'Feb', 'Jan', 'Mar']
console.log(months); // ['Mar', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Dec']
const values = [1, 10, 21, 2];
const sortedValues = values.toSorted((a, b) => a - b);
console.log(sortedValues); // [1, 2, 10, 21]
console.log(values); // [1, 10, 21, 2]
console.log(["a", "c", , "b"].toSorted()); // ['a', 'b', 'c', undefined]
console.log([, undefined, "a", "b"].toSorted()); // ["a", "b", undefined, undefined]
