Peter Williams:
Rather than deprecate it why not fix it? Shouldn't have to import std.algorithm just to sort an array.
Generally you want to keep the compiler (all its layers) as simpler as possible, to make it simpler to compile, debug and develop. A sort is implementable very well in library code. Other things, like tuples with a good syntax maybe can't be implemented well in library code, so they should be in the compiler :)
I suggest to kill the built-in sort ASAP. Bye, bearophile
