That's what's so interesting/frustrating here. Why did it happen to JS but nowhere else? JS didn't always have this culture. What changed? Why hasn't every popular language since NPM took off had the same effect?

`sort` as an NPM package. There are at least 50 packages covering the various available options. On top of that there are another 25 that are non-configurable, claiming to be the "default sort". 68 of these are unmaintained but don't indicate as such. 72 are 0.x
Let's add another 25 packages that are just plain broken to bring us to a nice round 100. There are 8 standardized environment variables taken into account by `sort`. Of the NPM packages, 30 of them respect at least one of them. No packages respect all of them.

There are also 162 packages which do the same thing but in browser environments. They are incompatible with the packages which support node.
