Aha, so you want sort some selection of records in other way.

Then you must then send your sorted ArraySet into first parameter of Sort().
And yes, Valentina will create new ArraySet as result.

This is because Valentina internally use other complex structures for
sorting, and to keep RAM usage minimal original array is destroyed after
Valentina copy data into own structures.

What troubles you?
