I'm thinking about it, but I'm still not 100% sure.

Feature detection of stable sort requires sorting of arrays and typed arrays (both) with more than 512 elements - many engines use unstable sorting only with arrays larger. Since complexity can be O(n^2), it's up to 513 * 513 * 2 iterations on feature detection - some additional milliseconds on core-js loading. Sure, we can detect browser version by UA, but it's not something ultimate.

Which sorting algorithm could be better for implementation? I don't think that something complex is required for obsolete engines.
