Does anybody use < to compare lookup keys?
Hi Nicolas,
Probably everybody.
<list of associations> asSortedArray
for example.
The problem is at the String >>#< level
both
#a < 1
and
#a < #1
cause errors.
The argument needs to be treated more polymorphicly
(adapt to string and send type stuff ) and this ought
be a mantis item.
Cheers.
Hth,
Yours in curiosity and service, -Jerome Peace
