OK, once again:

I had a look at the commit history, to see why the original developer
didn't use sort() function, and name the array variable sort but found
nothing.
I have some doubts that he might did that intentionally, so not to call
sort() function for such small array

It happens once in 10 s and in a work. No worries about that.

and avoid the cost of context switching.

What context switching?
