url: add sort() to URLSearchParams #10760
Description
Activity
PR: whatwg/url#199
Note: the current proposal requires a stable sorting algorithm.
whatwg/url#199 has been merged.
Is there an existing stable sort function in the code base? If not, I'll just make a simple insertion sort (or copy the one in V8), which is stable.

[-]url: track WHATWG URL issue #26[/-][+]url: add sort() to URLSearchParams[/+]on Jan 22, 2017 If we use an array of tuples as the underlying data structure instead of flattening them out, we can just use
Array.prototype.sort. Any reason they must be flattened?Also I remember there was discussion about moving the parsing bit to C++, for reference, blink does it with a
Vector<std::pair<String, String>>and gecko does it with ansTArray<Param>(essentially a vector with pair of strings too)@joyeecheung, we can't use
array.sortbecause it is not guaranteed to be stable, while the WHATWG spec does. In C++, creating new arrays for each tuple seems to be fairly expensive, so I decided on a flattened array instead.- added 3 commits that reference this issue

whatwg/url#26 proposes adding a
sort()capability toURLSearchParams. The idea would be to have a simple default lexical sort of keys. If added, we would need to add this to the API
