Description

The documentation for Collection.sort(Comparator comparator) at http://groovy.codehaus.org/groovy-jdk/java/util/Collection.html#sort%28java.util.Comparator%29 states

Sorts the Collection using the given comparator. The elements are sorted into a new list, and the existing collection is unchanged.
