I see no reason for consulting the source code, just to know whether
it's safe to sort that list. It would be silly, to say the least, for
Emacs to give Lisp programs direct access to a list that is used
internally by Emacs and whose order is important. IOW, it is safe to
assume that the returned list can be freely manipulated.
