#sorted, #sorted: -- VW already has this. VA is adding it. Squeak/Pharo should add it, IMO, but we'll add it to Grease if not. It returns a sorted copy of SequenceableCollections and a sorted Array of all other collections.
Oh, that's exactly the one I would have chosen :) We should go for it, both Squeak and Pharo.
I fear that #sorted is too close to #sort, but with very different semantics, and could cause confusion. I'd think twice before following VW's lead on this one. Is this a common enough case to be warrant its own selector, instead of "myCollection copy sort" which is much clearer in intent? If so, perhaps #copySorted would be clearer? Regards, -Martin
