> Are there instances in llvm where we perform range-based sorting? I see that std has an experimental range-based sort (std::experimental::ranges::sort) which I don't see being used in llvm.

I think in practice almost *every* sort we do would be range-based (i.e. we almost always sort an entire container). We generally don't use `std::experimental` things in LLVM because they're not reliably present across platforms, but that doesn't mean we don't provide our own implementations for good ideas.

> Also what should be the semantics of a range-based shuffle sort? Will it just shuffle the given range? Or should it shuffle the entire container but just sort the range?

I don't understand this question. You can't get to the entire container from a range.
