What is your actual problem that you are trying to solve by comparing
imaginary numbers?
The reals are an ordered field.
The complex numbers are a field but cannot support an ordering that is
consistent with
the field (or even ring) axioms.
The imaginary numbers are not a field or even a ring.
To
That's hard to define unambiguously at a mathematical level. What
definition did you have in mind? Can you provide more context? (Maybe
you want to compare Mod(x) to Mod(y) ?)

Hi Thomas,
If you want to compare the imaginary portions, you could do:
Im(z1) < Im(z2)
If you want to compare the magnitudes, you could do:
Mod(z1) < Mod(z2)
If you want to compare complex numbers, i.e. z1 < z2, well that just
doesn't make sense.
