Right, right.  That occurred to me after I sent that message.  For 
some reason I was thinking that sort and sort_by were the same method
with two aliases, the longer one intended for use when passing a block.
Obviously the blocks really do different things - the sort_by block
converts each item into a key to be compared, while the sort block
performs the actual comparisons.  

Just ignore me. :)
