# sort-non-slice

**Default severity:** `error`

`sort.Slice`, `sort.SliceStable`, and `sort.SliceIsSorted` accept `any` only
for historical API reasons. The value must hold a slice; passing an array or
another concrete type panics at runtime.

## Bad

```go
sort.Slice(array, less)
```

## Good

```go
sort.Slice(values, less)
```
