no clean optimized and fast way to sort StringArray

[SuperUserNameMan]

Operating system or device - Godot version:
official 2.0.3stable win64

Issue description (what happened, and what was expected):

Currently, the only way to sort a StringArray is to convert it back into an Array to .sort() it, then convert it back to a new StringArray.

Maybe it would be more optimized to have StringArray.sort() and StringArray.sort_custom() methods ?

Steps to reproduce:
Link to minimal example project (optional but very welcome):

var very_long_list = StringArray();
var temp = Array( very_long_list );
temp.sort();
very_long_list = StringArray( temp );

This issue still seems to be relevant as of b030834. Only Array has sort() and sort_custom() methods, not pooled arrays. I'm not sure if adding sorting methods to pooled arrays is desirable though – there may be technical reasons as to why they don't provide sorting methods.

In 4.0 pooled arrays already have sort method. So this ticket is relevant only for 3.x

Indeed; this can be fixed by backporting #32144 to 3.x. Feel free to look into it if you'd like 🙂

OK, I can dig into it and see what we can do 🙂
