missing right paren

What is wrong with this statement? It seems to have a right paren, but LBB says not. Works in LB4
Code:

It doesn't work in LB4, it reports Compile halted: Missing expression.
The syntax of the SORT statement is:
Code:SORT arrayName(), start, end, [column]

Well, it does work in LB4 without a right paren.
I should have noted that LBB first told me to add the right paren.
I added it, tried again, and the error message is "missing )"

Oops. I guess I put the right paren in the wrong place.
This works in both LB4 and LBB:

This works in LBB too; my preference is to include the right parenthesis, but it's optional:
Code:
If you have discovered an incompatibility between LB4 and LBB in respect of the SORT statement, what is it?
