tricky case:
should we allow array element type to be composite/domain?
currently seems to work fine.

create table t(b int[]);
insert into t values ('{{1,3}}'), ('{{1,2}}');

select array_sort((select array_agg(t) from t), 'desc');
array_sort
-----------------------------------
{"(\"{{1,3}}\")","(\"{{1,2}}\")"}

select array_sort((t.b)) from t;
ERROR: multidimensional arrays sorting are not supported

select array_sort((select array_agg(t.b) from t));
ERROR: multidimensional arrays sorting are not supported
