== sorted list by code unit ==
https://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB-2/#constructs

> A sorted list is a DOMStringList containing strings sorted in ascending order by code unit.

While sorting by code unit is easy to do in (UTF-16) DOMString, it produces a perverse order for supplementary characters (i.e. those > U+FFFF). Shouldn't this be sorted by codepoint?

Note too that a list sorted by code unit/codepoint will not be accessible to users.
