How to disable sorting in cleveref for one instance?

Question

I can disable reference sorting globally using the nosort or the compress package options, that's described in the docs. The same chapter explains how to disable compression for one instance of \cref. But it doesn't mention how to disable sorting for one instance.

MWE:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\begin{document}

\section{Foo}
\label{sec:foo}

\subsection{Bar}
\label{sec:foo.bar}

\section{Refs}
Check \cref{sec:foo.bar,sec:foo}

\end{document}

Output is "See sections 1 and 1.1", but I would like "See sections 1.1 and 1".

Just set temporarily to false the conditional \if@cref@sort:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\makeatletter
\DeclareRobustCommand{\crefnosort}[1]{%
  \begingroup\@cref@sortfalse\cref{#1}\endgroup
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\section{Foo}
\label{sec:foo}

\subsection{Bar}
\label{sec:foo.bar}

\section{Refs}
Check \crefnosort{sec:foo.bar,sec:foo}

\end{document}

enter image description here

The \DeclareRobustCommand is a precaution in case the command finds its way in a \caption.

Okay, this works nicely. Except: When I use \crefnosort in a caption. So I missed to include that in my MWE. Should I add that to my MWE? – Elrond Jun 25 '13 at 18:32
@Elrond Change \newcommand into \DeclareRobustCommand or use \protect\crefnosort in a caption. – egreg Jun 25 '13 at 19:34
Would you mind improving your answer? – Elrond Jun 25 '13 at 19:50
