Description

when using sort w/o () strange things happen
see result of the following script:

println "sort()..."
country = [ 'Canada', 'Austria', 'Brazil' ]
country.sort().each { println "Hello ${it}" }
println "sort..."
country2 = [ 'Canada', 'Austria', 'Brazil' ]
country2.sort.each { println "Hello ${it}" }

Output:
sort()...
Hello Austria
Hello Brazil
Hello Canada
sort...
Hello Canada
Hello Austria
Hello Austria
Hello Brazil
