It's a legacy issue that will hopefully be fixed someday. The 
issue is that ever since D1, arrays have had a .sort property 
that uses a built-in sorting function. The compiler will only 
recognize it as the std.algorithm version of sort if you use 
parentheses.

The built-in sort is buggy and slow and should never be used. As 
far as I know it does not produce errors of its own, so any error 
messages you see like that are coming from the std.algorithm sort.
