Everything is fine until I try to instantiate Tuples with my arrays. Then I get an error that says none of the overloads of the constructor are callable with these arguments. But I see this: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.Tuple.this.2 , which makes me think it should work. Am I doing something wrong?

Alright! I got what I wanted. Posting here for any fellow noobs who may stumble across this and care what I was screwing up. It looks like I accidentally gave a bad example, because I needed to sort on the second elements ascending, not the first elements descending. The lambdas I was feeding to sort were not working because of the crazy types coming from the range methods, and it turns out that I did not need tuples, since I could get a proper sort from an array. This is what I ended up with (plus a couple of filters that I'm omitting for clarity):

        auto result =
                input
                .splitter(",")
                .map!(v => v.splitter(" ")
                        .map!(a => a.to!(int))
                        .array()
                        )
                .array()
                .sort!("a[1]<b[1]");

Thanks Ali and Dennis for taking time to respond.
