See original GitHub issueWhat is the purpose of sorting these floats? After sorting, they are summed and their total is returned. The ResizeArray was created in this scope and no references remain after the function returns. Maybe it was added at one point to help with debugging.
I think this sorting can be removed.

That is very clever. Thanks for the explanation and specific example.
I will make sure there is a test that fails if the sort is removed before closing this issue.
