/**
 * Sorts the properties of an object alphabetically, ascending or descending.

 * REMEMBER: In theory, JS engines do not guarantee the order of object properties.
 * In practice most of the popular engines do.
 * @param object - source object
 * @param asc - sort ascending?
 * @example sortProps({ b: 2, a: 1, z: 26 }) // { a: 1, b: 2, z: 26 }
