+### sorter: `function(rankedItems): rankedItems`
+
+_Default:
+`matchedItems => matchedItems.sort((a, b) => sortRankedValues(a, b, baseSort))`_
+
+By default, match-sorter uses an internal `sortRankedValues` function to sort
+items after matching them.
+
+_You can customize the core sorting behavior by specifying a custom `sorter`
+function:_
+
+Disable sorting entirely:
+```javascript
+const list = ['appl', 'C apple', 'B apple', 'A apple', 'app', 'applebutter']
+matchSorter(list, 'apple', {sorter: rankedItems => rankedItems})
+// ['C apple', 'B apple', 'A apple', 'applebutter']
+```
+
+Return the unsorted rankedItems, but in reverse order:
+```javascript
+const list = ['appl', 'C apple', 'B apple', 'A apple', 'app', 'applebutter']
+matchSorter(list, 'apple', {sorter: rankedItems => [...rankedItems].reverse()})
+// ['applebutter', 'A apple', 'B apple', 'C apple']
+```
