Comment (by swissspidy):

 @westonruter Thanks for the screenshots. `wp_list_sort()` right now only
 does a `usort()`, whereas the affected customizer parts sometimes use
 `uasort()`. [38862] reverts an instance of `usort()` as well though. With
 that being said, I'd rather have reverted the ''whole'' commit because of
 the test failures instead.

 The tests are failing because `usort()` / `uasort()` are not stable and
 their behaviour changed from PHP 5 to PHP 7. That makes it basically
 untestable.

 What we definitely need is `wp_list_usort()` and `wp_list_uasort()` or an
 additional parameter to `wp_list_sort()`.
