My guess is that it almost certainly does not produce the result Ray
intended. This might though:

    local sorted=( $1,*(nN) )

The difference can be observed in the following cases:

- Nothing matches $1,*.
- $1 starts with a dash.
- At least one element of $1,* contains a newline.
- At least one element of $1,* contains a C style escape sequence.

I think it unlikely that in any of these cases the results produced by
the variant with the print are desired.
