'sorted' doesn't modify its left argument, instead
it creates and sorts temporary container of iterators.
I don't know for sure whether such adaptor is legal or not.

vc7.1+.
I guess Boost.Range non-intrusive customization
doesn't support vc6/7.
I will try to simplify the header structure and move them
to boost/range/detail/mfc. I can maybe... promise, if they
are really wanted. :-(

Apart from mfc, I think users (and I) hope some runtime test
functions are written by professionals (like range/concepts.hpp)
if possible.
