Missing "with" before "custom sort".

When I commented on the previous iteration about sorting, I didn't mean to suggest making them incompatible---it may have some use case to grab a batch out of the underlying refstore, sort refs in that batch, and then show them. But from usability's point of view, I tend to agree with this design decision. Such an unnatural batching and sorting operation is probably not worth supporting.
