[Rd] small inconsistency in sort

Hi,
if an atomic with colnames / rownames attribute is sorted, its names are
not sorted in the appropriate way:
R> a <- matrix(1:5, ncol=5)
R> colnames(a) <- paste("V", 1:5, sep="")
R> a
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
[1,] 1 2 3 4 5
R> sort(a, dec=TRUE)
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
[1,] 5 4 3 2 1
R>
?sort states that x is `a numeric or complex vector' but sort only checks
if `is.atomic(x)' causing the small problem.
best,
Torsten
