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

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #45739 (project octave):

Michael, you said that passing a range to sort() isn't sensible as the range
is already sorted.  The issue is when a function passes its input variable to
sort(), and that input happens to be a range.

I agree that fixing the constructor is the right approach.  If it has side
effects, they are likely to be beneficial (i.e., fixing other bugs).

Out of interest, should  fliplr  return a range if the input is a range?  That
should make it much faster, as Dieter points out.
