URLSearchParams: sort() method

The URLSearchParams.sort() method sorts all key/value pairs contained in this object in place and returns undefined. The sort order is according to unicode code points of the keys. This method uses a stable sorting algorithm (i.e. the relative order between key/value pairs with equal keys will be preserved).

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
