Use toSorted() Instead of sort() for Immutability
`.sort()` mutates the array in place, which can cause bugs with React state and props. Use `.toSorted()` to create a new sorted array without mutation.

•Incorrect (mutates original array):typescript
•Correct (creates new array):typescript
Why This Matters
Impact: prevents mutation bugs in React state. This optimization is classified as MEDIUM-HIGH priority for production applications.
