Elements need to be sorted into document order when returned from the Selectors API #39

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Currently the matchAll/matchSingle() methods do not sort the results into
document order (according to the spec). This is not a huge problem for
base2. Most of the time developers don't care about node order. Also, this
bug only affects selectors that are grouped as a comma-separated list.

e.g. document.matchAll("body,html".item(0));

This should return <html> but returns <body>.

If the query is performed using XPath then this bug does not occur.

I've removed this feature. It is far too slow to DOM nodes on certain 
platforms. It
takes 2 seconds to sort 200 nodes on Safari.

Node lists are now sorted as per spec.
