Yay!  I had forgotten about that.  IIRC it was based on OpenSSH
extraction from supercop, but I think it should be updated against
latest upstream -- https://libntruprime.cr.yp.to/download.html --
although I won't be able to work on it for the next few weeks, so if you
happen to have cycles upgrading it would be great.

Yes.

I think this was fixed in latest upstream, or I confuse it with
something that sounded similar.

Sorting happens during key generation, as part of the (Hash)Shorts
conversion (see section 3.3, on lprime, which somewhat confusingly is
re-used by sntrup too).  I suspect https://sorting.cr.yp.to/ eventually
finds it way here too, there is a very recent page with speed
comparisons: https://sorting.cr.yp.to/speed.html
