  the short doc for vecsort was rewritten some time ago, probably
following your report. In (soon-to-be-released) 'master' it reads:

vecsort(x,{cmpf},{flag=0}): sorts the vector x in ascending order, according 
to the comparison function cmpf, if not omitted. Binary digits of flag (if 
present) mean: 1: indirect sorting, return the permutation instead of the 
permuted vector, 4: use descending instead of ascending order, 8: remove 
duplicate entries.

Cheers,

    K.B.
