If the range tree returns multiple points or markers that might be within the search area, we were sorting them to maintain a stable response order. Javascript sort defaults to a lexical sort which casts all values to strings, so we had been doing `points.sort((a, b) => a
to do a numerical sort, but this has a lot of function call overhead and probably is casting each value between strings and numeric datatypes. Instead, we do
points = Uint32Array.from(points).sort();` which uses native javascript functions and is much faster.
