4You're going to have to at least explain what language you're using. That said, there's a good chance that it's sorting alphanumerically. – Beska Oct 22 '18 at 20:27

4Can you explain why you expect it to return `true`? – David Oct 22 '18 at 20:32

1Because `H` is not greater than `W` - it's the same reason the string "0999" is less than the string "2". – Ryan Wheale Oct 22 '18 at 20:35

It compares them char by char, first it compares "H" > "W" and since that's false. It returns false.
