The argument given in the source for having two methods is "performance

Actually, I don't believe that's true. It imposes an extra function call for each two items that are compared. Depending upon the sort algorithm that's implemented in the native Array.sort() and how out-of-order the items are to begin with, this means a likely minimum number of extra function calls is the number of rows in the table, and the actual number could be much, much greater.
For the new (to-be-named) enhanced table model which I recently submitted as
an enhancement, this is a trivial change.
The only question is whether we want to do anything to avoid breaking
existing code as this will constitute an API change.
