Two options:
a) Use parentheses after sort:
arr.sort()
b) Import sort() under a different name:
import std.algorithm: algsort = sort;
arr.algsort
Yep. The sort property on arrays will likely go away eventually, but until
it does, those are your options. But at least now it warns you. Previously,
it just silently used the sort property, which does the wrong thing for
arrays of char or wchar.

Do you mean property sort would sort individual chars? However, the
following program indicates that it may have been fixed (i.e. made
Unicode-aware):
import std.stdio;
void main() {
auto arr = "çöüabc".dup;
arr.sort;
// (Not correct for a particular writing system but
// that's beyond the point. It's still a correct string.)
assert(arr == "abcçöü");
foreach (c; arr) {
writefln("%02x", c);
}
}
Prints:
61
62
63
c3 <- Out of order
a7 <- etc.
c3
b6
c3
bc
Perhaps, this was an independent change? More likely I've misunderstood
you. :)
