On Max/MSP 4.6.0, both Intel-Mac and PPC Mac, Mac OS 10.4.7,
(I’ve never tested it on 4.6.1)

I got “D A B” when I send “D B A” to “zl sort”.
I got many similar results.
This could be a bug in zl.
(But I got “A B C” when I send “C B A” to the same object.)

It works fine on 4.5.7.

I’m sorry if it’s already known.

Thank you.

Best,
Masayuki Akamatsu

Summary: Alphabetic sorting is apparently broken for [zl sort] in
MaxMSP 4.6.1. Numeric sorting seems to work.

Expected Results: [zl sort] arranges a list received in its left
inlet in alphanumeric order.

Actual Results: Numeric elements are sorted correctly. Alphabetic
elements are not.

Steps to reproduce: See patch below.
