This looks good. I'm curious if users will also be interested in a list that includes transactions that may not be in the current active chain as was mentioned in #794 (comment)

I like the idea of being able to show TX that are not in the valid chain due to RBF or reorg for a future PR. The idea with this one is to provide only the basic sort functionality for lang bindings to expose.

This only adds a new function and doesn't break any existing APIs so I'm moving this to the beta milestone so we can focus on breaking changes.

Looks good! I just left a single comment about the documentation.

Also, we'll still need to work on #1333 in the future, right ?

Yes because this is a simple collect() into a Vec and then sorting the vec in the Wallet API.
#1333 is in the Chain API.

@notmandatory I'm happy to merge this now tbh. It doesn't conflict or break anything.

Rebased and fixed docs.

Back by popular demand, merging this now instead of later.
