Research direction

Reproduce the assertion in Chrome 90 and Safari 15 using the shim and its /auto variant, then inspect the SortIndexedProperties path and the SortCompare assertion. Done means the shim no longer throws this assertion in the reported browser cases; the issue provides no file or test path to start from.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When using this shim, an assertion seems to be thrown in SortIndexedProperties.

Assertion failed: SortCompare must be an abstract closure taking 2 arguments

It seems to do this in Chrome 90 and Safari 15.
I've only imported this shim and imported the /auto variant. If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.
