Yes, and the sort operator is a part of the standard
language in the case of APL.

So if C++ is better than Ada because the standard library
has a sort built in, and therefore allows a shorter sorting
routine, by the same argument APL must be even better than
C++, since the sorting is even more built in, and we can
get an even shorter sorting routine.
