[Nicholas Jankowski]

Update of bug #65527 (group octave):

                Category:                    None => Octave Function        
              Item Group:                    None => Missed Error or Warning
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any                    
                 Summary: Missing documentation for sort => sort should
produce an error for nonscalar dim

Follow-up Comment #1:

i don't think it is expected for sort to take a vector input for dim. while
there are some functions that do this, i'm not even sure how you'd interpret
such an ordering instruction.  From a compatibility perspective, matlab docs
specify it is a scalar and inputting a vector produces an error. 

I think this is just a case of an uncaught erroneous input.  the function is
just performing a sort using dim(1).  

this isn't a case of documentation, but the function should be producing an
error. Changing category to "Missed Error or Warning" and updating title.
