I just looked at our bugtrackers and I don't think we ever filed this as an issue. The problem was noticed when running jsc (the command line tool from WebKit to run JavaScript code).
In memory our pointers (CHERI capabilities) looks like pairs of "64-bit address+64 bits of metadata (permissions+bounds)", so after calling std::sort we ended up with an array containing just the addresses of the pointers, followed by the sorted virtual addresses.
