Alright, I used an explicit sort in reverse order to make sure the test is
stable. I usually create modules that may change different paths, costs, and
orders, and using random can make things unpredictable. But for this specific
test, I don't see any risk.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that do_set_block_offsets shouldn't sort
the incoming offsets? I made this change mainly to meet the
TidStoreSetBlockOffsets contract. Since this is just a simple test, performance
isn't really a concern.
