I did read all of it before I commented. I'm not sure if I'm going to output a really large map that I want to wait for it to sort. I guess I might want to wait. It would depend on why I want to sort. I guess I need to look at how I usually use inspect. I normally know the keys I'm looking for and don't find myself outputting a large map. When I do I copy it to another tool to look through and inspect keys and values.
I'm asking if there is a reason we might not want to sort. Sometimes the question to ask is about a reason not to do it. I'm not against this I just want to explore ideas. Thanks for your proposal and starting the conversation.
