Returns a Flowable that emits the events emitted by source Publisher, in a
sorted order. Each item emitted by the Publisher must implement {@link Comparable} with respect to all
other items in the sequence.

<p>If any item emitted by this Flowable does not implement {@link Comparable} with respect to
all other items emitted by this Flowable, no items will be emitted and the
sequence is terminated with a {@link ClassCastException}.
<p>Note that calling {@code sorted} with long, non-terminating or infinite sources
might cause {@link OutOfMemoryError}

@return a Flowable that emits the items emitted by the source Publisher in sorted order
Returns a Flowable that emits the events emitted by source Publisher in a sorted order . Each item emitted by the Publisher must implement { @link Comparable } with respect to all other items in the sequence .
