Clojure's compare; (compare \a \b) -1
user=> (doc compare) ------------------------- clojure.core/compare ([x y]) Comparator. Returns 0 if x equals y, -1 if x is logically 'less than' y, else 1. Same as Java x.compareTo(y) except it also works for nil, and compares numbers and collections in a type-independent manner. x must implement Comparable Rgds, Adrian.
