Extracted for easier copy/paste:

function partition<T, U extends string>(
  arr: ReadonlyArray<T>,
  sorter: (el: T) => U
) {
  const res = {} as { [K in U]: T[] | undefined };
  for (const el of arr) {
    const key = sorter(el);
    const target: T[] = res[key] ?? (res[key] = []);
    target.push(el);
  }
  return res;
}
