Hello,

Look at the J code at
http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Sorting_Using_a_Custom_Comparator#J

I think it misses the point of the problem. It asks to show the
sorting facility of a programming language using a custom comparator,
that is a tailored sorting facility. The variability should be
pluggable. Look at the other solutions.

The J solution given doesn't show that a flexible and pluggable
sorting facility.

For example, I think the following code is aimed closer to the point
of the problem:
   load 'strings'
   sortby=: 1 : '] \: u&.>'
   (# ,[:-[: a.&i. tolower) sortby strings

I am not sure if mine is a good J-ic approach. I'd be happy to see
more J-ic way of doing it. Thanks.
