Follow-up Comment #8, bug #45739 (project octave):

I looked at liboctave/array/Range.cc. The implementation
has substantial subtleties so implementing the change of
the limit value will need some care and testing. It appears
that John is the original author so I will point out this 
problem to him.

The alternative of having sort test for a type range argument
is still a possibility.

However, note that passing a range, which must have uniformly
increasing or decreasing increments, to sort is not something
that makes much sense. Sort will either return the original
input of fliplr of the input. Is there any construct such
that passing a type range to sort does something useful?
