Got it - I don't know whether it's a bug or not.
if I comment out
#import Base.isless
in the LogParse.jl file and initially reload that in the repl and then
reload the correct version with
import Base.isless
methods(isless) shows the method but sort says it's not defined, even when
I specify it directly.
Apologies for not checking the initial input in a fresh session, I thought
that reloading a module would completely reload the functions, but
presumably not when appending to those in Base.
Kind regards, John.
