|...| is used for variables, so this should just be LayoutSVGText to avoid
confusion. Same for all the other places that does this.

+    // On this level of tree, try to find the closest |LayoutSVGText|. If not find this level, try to search
+    // next level which is candidates.
+    LayoutObject* closestLayoutObject = nullptr;

Make this:

struct SearchCandidate {
    LayoutObject* layoutObject;
    float distance;
};
Vector<SearchCandidate> candidates;

and then you don't need to recompute distance for the "secondary" search, and
the sort predicate (see below) ought to be simple enough still.

+    for (LayoutObject* child = layoutObject->slowLastChild(); child; child = child->previousSibling()) {
+        if (!child->localToParentTransform().isInvertible())

This will return identity for for example LayoutSVGHiddenContainer, so you
really want to filter on type first in some way.

+            continue;
+
+        FloatRect boundingBox = child->objectBoundingBox();
+        FloatPoint childLocalPoint = child->localToParentTransform().inverse().mapPoint(point);
+        float distance = boundingBox.squaredDistanceTo(childLocalPoint);
+
+        if (distance >= closestDistance)
+            continue;
+
+        if (child->isSVGText()) {
+            candidates.clear();
+            closestLayoutObject = child;
+            closestDistance = distance;
+            continue;
+        }
+
+        if (child->isSVGContainer() && !child->isSVGHiddenContainer())
+            candidates.append(child);
+    }
+
+    // If find |LayoutSVGText| this level of tree, return it.
+    if (closestLayoutObject && closestLayoutObject->isSVGText())
+        return closestLayoutObject;
+
+    // Sort using the distance between the mouse point and a candidate.

In this day and age we have smarty functions that mean we don't need to write
sorting code. std::stable_sort ought to work fine here with a suitable
predicate.

+    // Because If the distance is close, the higher the priority to search |LayoutSVGText|.
+    Vector<LayoutObject*> sortedCandidates;
+    for (LayoutObject* candidate : candidates) {
+        FloatRect candidateBoundingBox = candidate->objectBoundingBox();
+        FloatPoint candidateLocalPoint = candidate->localToParentTransform().inverse().mapPoint(point);
+        float candidateDistance = candidateBoundingBox.squaredDistanceTo(candidateLocalPoint);
+
+        size_t index;
+        for (index = 0; index < sortedCandidates.size(); index++) {
+            LayoutObject* sortedCandidate = sortedCandidates.at(index);
+            FloatRect sortedCandidateBoundingBox = sortedCandidate->objectBoundingBox();
+            FloatPoint sortedCandidateLocalPoint = sortedCandidate->localToParentTransform().inverse().mapPoint(point);
+            float sortedCandidateDistance = sortedCandidateBoundingBox.squaredDistanceTo(sortedCandidateLocalPoint);
+            if (candidateDistance < sortedCandidateDistance)
+                break;
+        }
+
+        sortedCandidates.insert(index, candidate);
+    }
+    candidates.clear();
+
+    // If not find |LayoutSVGText| on this level of tree, try to search it on sub-tree of |condidate|.
+    // This vector called |sortedCandidates| is the sort in order of distance from the mouse point.
