How can I debug my storySort function?

[AndreyMiloserdov]

In my preview.ts insert code like a console.log('[deb] my preview config story sort fn', config.parameters.options.storySort); before export default config;
And it is displayed in my browser console.
But if I insert same logger into my storySort funciton - nothing logged in the browser console or terminal.

PS: My sorting settings don't work at all. They don't work in any form (not the example from the documentation, not the function), although the logger shows that the setting is set.
I want to find and understand why my storybook (8..3.4) doesn't want to work with my sorting configuration.

Hm... some answers found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79181487/incorrect-stories-order-on-storybook
Storybook expects the parameters to be exported immediately without waiting for any imports - If set parameters in the preview.ts - sorting works... If import sort fn from other file - it does not work, WHY?
