 Array#sort return a copy of the array.

uln% ruby -e 'a=["b", "a", "d"]; b = a.sort; p a, b'
["b", "a", "d"]
["a", "b", "d"]
uln% 

 You want Array#sort! if you want modify the object

uln% ruby -e 'a=["b", "a", "d"]; a.sort!; p a'
["a", "b", "d"]
uln% 


B> print "yada yada #(inline_string) yada yada "  =>prints as "yada yada
B> #(inline_string) yada yada" not "yada yada yo yada yada"

 You want #{inline_string}, i.e. {} rather than ()
