No, it is as documented: see ?sort
As from R 2.3.0, all attributes are removed from the return value
except names, which are sorted. (If 'partial' is specified even
the names are removed.)
Note, the class is an attribute. For many classes sorting destroys the
appropriateness of the class.

You can restore the class if appropriate.
