The way to avoid guesswork here is `inst`:

 ((inst sort (Pair Symbol Natural) String) ....)

Next time you see one of these errors, print the type of the function
or check the DrRacket blue box to figure out which/how many arguments
the `inst` needs.

This looks like a genuine type error, because (U
Exact-Nonnegative-Integer Symbol) is not a Pair.

Should the loop body say `p` instead of `y`?
