So instead of unrepresentation an alternative solution is to introduce a little std.ascii.asciiSort (it could also be named just std.ascii.sort, or std.algorithm.asciiSort):

char[] s1 = ['t', 'e', 's', 't'];
string t1 = s1.asciiSort;

string s2 = "test";
string t2 = s2.dup.asciiSort.assumeUnique;

I think a function called assumeUTF would be nice. It would convert arrays of (possibly qualified) ubyte, ushort, and uint to the respective arrays of char, wchar, or dchar.
