I respectfully disagree with the a > z bit, the default sorting routine
used is strncmp or some glib derivative which returns.
-1 == strcmp("a", "b")
0 == strcmp("b", "b")
1 == strcmp("c", "b")
The strcmp() and strncmp() return an integer greater than, equal to, or
less than 0, according as the string s1 is greater than, equal to, or
less than the string s2.
I would take this to mean that a < z when doing alpha sorting. Or am I
out there on this one???
Thanks.
Russ
