False error?

can this be true?:

MethodError: no method matching sort!(::Dict{Int64,String})

that seems to be basic thing, am I doing something wrong?

Dicts are unordered, so you cannot sort them.
OrderedDicts are ordered, so you can sort them.

julia> using OrderedCollections

julia> d = OrderedDict(1 => :a, 4 => :b, 3 => :c, 2 => :d)
OrderedDict{Int64,Symbol} with 4 entries:
  1 => :a
  4 => :b
  3 => :c
  2 => :d

julia> sort!(d)
OrderedDict{Int64,Symbol} with 4 entries:
  1 => :a
  2 => :d
  3 => :c
  4 => :b

julia> d
OrderedDict{Int64,Symbol} with 4 entries:
  1 => :a
  2 => :d
  3 => :c
  4 => :b

Thanks, so how do I get it?
I typed:
using Pkg
Pkg.add(“OrderedCollections.jl”)
I got:
julia> Pkg.add(“OrderedCollections.jl”)
