No. It's because #sorted: works for all Collections, while #sortBy: is 
specific to SequenceableCollection. #sortBy:'s comment is inaccurate about 
the return value (it doesn't create a _copy_ unless the receiver is an 
OrderedCollection), and it relies on #asOrderedCollection's unusual
implementation, which returns a copy even if the receiver is an 
OrderedCollection.
