As Andrea mentioned in
yp1cyssanrp.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org/">https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/yp1cyssanrp.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org/, type
declarations are not yet supported and it is not yet clear how long it
will take to implement type declaration support.

If you wish to contribute a better sorting to Emacs, another option
might be contributing to Emacs C sources. Check out src/sort.c file
(tim_sort) for the sort implementation that is currently in use.
