how is this sorting different?

How is sorting letter s different from all the other sort tasks?--Nigel Galloway (talk) 16:45, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Almost all of the other sort tasks are dealing with multiple records (or multiple strings), or an array (whose elements are either strings or numbers). This Rosetta Code task is restricted to sorting one string (of characters, which could include duplicates, blanks, and upper- and lower-cased letters). I would've preferred a particular string that would be used (in common) for all computer programming languages for this task to make comparison a little easier. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 17:22, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
