# sort-conversion-without-sort

**Default severity:** `warning`

`sort.Float64Slice`, `sort.IntSlice`, and `sort.StringSlice` are types, not
sorting functions. Converting a slice to one of these types and assigning it
back does not reorder any values.

## Bad

```go
values = sort.IntSlice(values)
```

## Good

```go
sort.Ints(values)
```
