 In [changeset:"38928"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38928"
 General: Introduce a `wp_list_sort()` helper function, v2.

 In addition to `wp_list_filter()` for filtering a list of objects, and
 `wp_list_pluck()` for plucking a certain field out of each object in a
 list, this new function can be used for sorting a list of objects by
 specific fields. These functions are now all contained within the new
 `WP_List_Util()` class and `wp_list_sort()` is used in various parts of
 core for sorting lists.

 This was previously committed in [38859] but got reverted in [38862] and
 [38863]. To fix the previous issues, `wp_list_sort()` supports now an
 additional argument to preserve array keys via `uasort()`.

 Props flixos90, DrewAPicture, jorbin.
 Fixes #37128.
