I didn't understand the code snippet you sent, but it appears to have rounding errors. 'sort' doesn't have rounding errors when doing the comparison in question. Let's not introduce them now.--- It has to. It's rounding to 2-3 digits.
Sorry, I don't understand that comment. 'sort -h' does not round. It doesn't have to. Your code *does* round, and I suppose in some sense it "has to", but that's a bug compared to what 'sort' does now.
