The output of the program compling with DMD 1.034 is as expected:

faces before .sort
i = 0, face = Morgens
i = 1, face = Mittags
i = 2, face = Abends
i = 3, face = Nachts
i = 4, face = Immer

faces after .sort
i = 0, face = Abends
i = 1, face = Immer
i = 2, face = Mittags
i = 3, face = Morgens
i = 4, face = Nachts

But compiling with DMD 2.018 without any modification of the code
the program outputs:

 faces before .sort
i = 0, face = Morgens
i = 1, face = Mittags
i = 2, face = Abends
i = 3, face = Nachts
i = 4, face = Immer

faces after .sort
i = 0, face = Mittags
i = 1, face = Morgens
i = 2, face = Nachts
i = 3, face = Abends
i = 4, face = Immer

The output of course indicates that the opCmp member of S is completly
ignored and that realy happens in this case (easy to proof).

But then the .sort property at least for arrays of structs is not much
useful.

Any ideas ?

Did u file a bugreport ? If there is not already one for this, cause i 
think it is a known issue

I think this is the same bug as 1309.  If so, you should add your test
case to the comments.
