"bca".sort.say
# OUTPUT«(bca)␤»

From @coke

This is behaving as intended.

.sort works on something list-like (FYI, this method is coming in via the Any class).

A Str is a single item, so the result of calling sort on it is a list containing the original string as the only element.

If you want to sort the individual characters, you can use​:

"NOTABUG".comb.sort.join # no-arg comb returns a list of the individual characters, then we sort the list, and then join it back together
