In terms of referencing the properties, you'd want to swap the order
you have above, i.e. you'd not want to have y ? y : x but rather y ? x
: y or x ? y : x.
Also, the "*.sort" would only be needed if you have lists of lists of maps.

This doesn't seem right as written. Perhaps you are abbreviating and
leaving out some info that I am missing.
