:::::::: What I meant is that he's coded the sort routine rather than using Ring's built-in Sort() function, though admittedly he hasn't put his own code in a function. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 18:46, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
::::::::: Yeah, and my ''pedantic'' point is that if he ''had'' written an ''actual function'' that just simply used Ring's built-in Sort(), it would ''not'' actually disagree with the task description, and of course this is all a bit "Call me a taxi." "You are a taxi.", but no task entry, even if it is the first, can override the task description. ☺ --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]])
:::: The task title and description are currently at odds with each other. The former says sort in alphabetical order and the latter in lexicographical order. Given that we have example strings containing both upper and lower case letters and non-letters, lexicographical order seems the most appropriate to me and I therefore agree with Paddy3118's suggested title change above. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 15:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
