In addition, sort does in-place sorting, so the input range is

from a string (immutable(char)[]) to a dchar[]. std.conv.to to
the rescue:
import std.stdio : writeln;

import std.algorithm.sorting : sort;
string word = "longword";
writeln(sort(word.to!(dchar[]))); // dglnoorw
Also very useful information! Thanks. I was just realizing that
sort was in-place as I finished writing my first post. It got me
really confused as I expected it to return a sorted array (but I
do realize that is a strange assumption to make).
