I wanted to sort a list of XMLElements based on the text in the third descendent of the element type used to form the list. In order to set up the comparison predicate, I had to(?) form a list of the two candidate strings and compare it to the sorted version of itself. The sort was fairly slow in executing. I would like to have simply done s1 < s2, but Mathematica doesn't appear to support that. Is there a way to get that functionality more simply than what I described? -- http://www.mathematica-users.org/ http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/math/bmwcs/master.html http://www.w3.org/Math/ http://230nsc1.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html
