Does the compiler inline the predicate functions to std.algorithm.sort?

DMD has a -inline flag to enable inlining - though LDC is a lot 
better in optimization than DMD and thus typically used for 
anything performance related.

You can get IR on run.dlang.io by simply selecting LDC and 
hitting the IR button.
