What does JSON Sorter actually do?

The JSON sorter reorders object keys, and can flatten or unflatten paths, without changing values. Array order is not a key sort. It does not diff two documents.

When should I use JSON Sorter?

Use it before a snapshot test when key order makes diffs noisy.

When should I not use JSON Sorter?

Do not use it if a consumer illegally depends on key order and you must preserve it.

What does JSON Sorter not do?

Key order is not significant in the JSON spec; sorting is for humans and snapshots. Does not compare two payloads.
