Ingenious!
Excellent!
Now my getUniqueObjects function works correctly.
function getUniqueObjects(arr) {
const replacer = (key, value) =>
value && typeof value === "object" && !Array.isArray(value)
? Object.keys(value)
.sort()
.reduce((sorted, key) => {
sorted[key] = value[key];
return sorted;
}, {})
: value;
return arr.filter(
(v, i, a) =>
a.findIndex(
(v2) => JSON.stringify(v2, replacer) === JSON.stringify(v, replacer)
) === i
);
}

This is quite clever. Touche.
