Non Triggering Examples

let min = myList.min()

let min = myList.min(by: { $0 < $1 })

let min = myList.min(by: >)

let max = myList.max()

let max = myList.max(by: { $0 < $1 })

let message = messages.sorted(byKeyPath: #keyPath(Message.timestamp)).last

let message = messages.sorted(byKeyPath: "timestamp", ascending: false).first

myList.sorted().firstIndex(of: key)

myList.sorted().lastIndex(of: key)

myList.sorted().firstIndex(where: someFunction)

myList.sorted().lastIndex(where: someFunction)

myList.sorted().firstIndex { $0 == key }

myList.sorted().lastIndex { $0 == key }

myList.sorted().first(where: someFunction)

myList.sorted().last(where: someFunction)

myList.sorted().first { $0 == key }

myList.sorted().last { $0 == key }
