what with this?:
auto arr = ["foo", "bar", "aaa", "zzz"];
sort(arr);
assert(canFind("foo"));
assert(canFind("aaa"));

I had a "Error 1 Error: module algorithem is in file 'std\algorithem.d'

it's spelled "algorithm", no e in there.

I allways try to import 'algorythm' because of the german word 'Algorythmus'.
When this happend for the first time, I spent about five minutes to find out
what's wrong.

It is spelled Algorithmus in German, no ypsilon ;-) http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Algorithmus The word is not from greek, but from arabic/persian etymology (like many words starting in al-). From wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/algorithm:

From French algorithme; from the Old French algorisme ("the Arabic numeral system"), a modification likely due to a mistaken connection with Greek ἀριθμός (number); from Medieval Latin algorismus, a transliteration of the name of the Persian mathematician al-Khwārizmī (Arabic: الخوارزمي, "native of Khwarezm.")
