In Python, I can do: a = set([2,1,5,3,2]) b = sorted(a) print(b) # Returns a sorted List In Julia, Is it possible to sort a Set? Edit: There is no particular reason why I require a Set. I was reading the documentation and attempted to sort a simple Set, and was puzzled by the error returned.

No. You can however convert it to a vector and sort that: julia> a = Set([2,1,5,3,2]); sort!(collect(a)) 4-element Array{Int64,1}: 1 2 3 5

Can you sort a Set?

Depending on the use case a PriorityQueue may be a good option.
