There is some precedent for 'sortOn' as the naming convention should we choose to go ahead with it.

Having some mechanism by which we can explicitly request the Schwartzian transform like that as opposed to 'element by element' By functions strikes me personally as a good idea and sufficiently non-trivial to pass the "Fairbairn threshold" in my book.

+1 from me.

Either of the names sortOn, or sortWith, sound good. I think I prefer
sortWith.
