Use the `release` method:

Fantastic, issue solved, I previously used sort ascending even
descending but first time on floats.
So I went and searched phobos docs:
auto release();
Releases the controlled range and returns it.
Not much clarification there.
Can you elaborate a bit if possible Steve ?
I think the purpose behind it is to say "here, now you have the original
range back, so I won't guarantee it's sorted any more." I'm pretty sure
it also clears out the source range in the sorted range, so you can no
longer use the sortedness functions, but that's easily circumvented
using `save`.
I can't really defend the purpose/implementation of `SortedRange`, it's
something in Phobos that I've complained about extensively in the past.
