This is a way to insert an item in a sorted array: import std.stdio: writeln; import std.range: assumeSorted; import std.array: insertInPlace; void main() { int[] arr = [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]; int x = 35; arr.insertInPlace(arr.assumeSorted.lowerBound(x).length, x); arr.writeln; } Haskell has the insert/insertBy functions (for lists): http://zvon.org/other/haskell/Outputlist/insertBy_f.html http://zvon.org/other/haskell/Outputlist/insert_f.html It's an operation not too much rare, and implementing it correctly like I have shown is not immediate, there is a little risk of introducing a bug. So is it worth adding such small function std.array.insertOrdered() to std.array?
