Doesn't necessarily follow: with ascii "a" is 97, whereas "H" is 72, so
you'd expect
<cfoutput>#("a" GT "H")#</cfoutput> --> Yes
Whereas it actually gives no, as lexically a is before (less than) H.

is that not what one would expect to see though with comparing ASCII values?
is this not how a DB would sort text information in alphabetical order?

Looks like you're right:
<cfoutput>#"aaa" GTE "aab"#</cfoutput> <!--- no --->
<cfoutput>#"aaa" GTE "aaa"#</cfoutput> <!--- yes --->
<cfoutput>#"aab" GTE "aaa"#</cfoutput> <!--- yes --->
Another example of CF being "clever"... Ho hum.
Tim.
