Description

Summary

Update this section Updating arrays without mutation by adding toReversed() and toSorted() instead of suggestion cloning the array and mutating it.

Page

https://react.dev/learn/updating-arrays-in-state

Details

Since toReversed() and toSorted() have been added to Javascript, should the docs reflect the changes and remove the section about mutating the array before sorting and reversing?

Or does it stay just to give an example of cloning before mutating an array ?

Research direction

Start with the “Updating arrays without mutation” section on the Updating Arrays in State page and review its sorting and reversing examples. Check how toSorted() and toReversed() should fit the existing explanation, then confirm whether the cloning-before-mutation example should remain; done means the page reflects the decided guidance and its examples are consistent.
