As a general comment, sorting a string does not make sense in general
when Unicode is involved. For example, there may be combining diacriticals:
// Three characters: e, a, and combining acute accent U+0301
writeln("eá".array.sort);
prints
aé
So, the accent moves from a to e, which probably is not the intention.
