Should we sort before calling `removeSelectedItems`?  It should make performance slightly better since it organizes the array to be bottom-up based on the DOM and we check bottom-up inside `canSelectTreeElement`, meaning that the "lower" nodes are more likely to be earlier on in the array.

Rather than only using this path if we aren't removing, I think we should flip this around.
```
    if (!super.canSelectTreeElement(treeElement))
        return false;

    let willRemoveAncestorOrSelf = false;
    if (this._treeElementsToRemove) {
        while (treeElement && !willRemoveAncestorOrSelf) {
            willRemoveAncestorOrSelf = this._treeElementsToRemove.includes(treeElement);
            treeElement = treeElement.parent;
        }
    }
    return !willRemoveAncestorOrSelf;
```

The sort would need to go in SelectionController, and this is only needed for the DOMTreeOutline. If this path needs to be optimized in the future I will investigate then.
