Enhancement Minor Closed Completed Unassigned Stephen Compall Thu, 8 Dec 2011 19:14:37 -0600 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:35:48 -0500 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:35:48 -0500 Release 1.3 Release 1.4 Reviewed Backlog Release 1.5 0 1 <p>This is an enhancement request, since the docs for sort make no promise one way or the other. </p> <p>For performance, I prefer the current behavior, so another possibility is a clarifying doc string.</p> <p>clj-892-clarify-sort-sort-by-doc-strings-patch1.txt of Mar 26, 2012 applies cleanly to latest master on that date. Only doc string changes, to make it clear that by sort and sort-by will modify Java arrays given as arguments.</p> Approval Ok Global Rank Patch Code
