Comment (by swissspidy):

 Using globals is bad, using temporary globals seems even worse. With
 initiatives like #37699, we should avoid introducing new globals.

 How would this look with a helper class for plucking, filtering and
 sorting? Or maybe `create_function()` (sigh)?

 Introducing `wp_list_sort()` without using it in core is not ideal, but an
 extensible helper class for interacting with arrays and objects might be
 more convincing.
