[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45739] sort 'descend' together with vectors created with the colon operator

[Dieter Schmidt]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #45739 (project octave):

@Michael Godfrey:  you are right with the difference between ranges/matrices
and you are also right to write the range in []:  

>> sort([1:3:15],'descend')
ans =

   13   10    7    4    1

But the different handling of matrices/ranges by the sort-command is firstly
not documented and secondly not very self-explanatory. Therefore something
should be changed: doc or code.

I would prefer the solution with fixes in the sort-command, so there is no
more difference between matrices and ranges (additionaly with the advantage of
matlab-compatibility). 

But I'm only a little old nobody ... erm ... user.
