I modified the doc string to say this instead:

  Sort lines in region alphabetically; REVERSE non-nil means descending order.
  Interactively, REVERSE is the prefix argument, and BEG and END are the region.
  Called from a program, there are three arguments:
  REVERSE (non-nil means reverse order), BEG and END (region to sort).
  The variable ‘sort-fold-case’ determines whether alphabetic case affects
  the sort order.

Does this modified doc string resolve the issue you had?
