Ironruby core - Aug 2008 - sorting of strings is different in IronRuby than in Ruby

Hi

I was playing around with a very simple code example and got different
results in IronRuby and in Ruby.

"IronRuby In Action".split(//).sort.uniq.join

returns in MRI: " AIRbcinortuy"
returns in IronRuby: " AbciInorRtuy"

I''m sure you guys are aware of this, but just in case :)
I guess in the end the 2 results should be the same or is this perhaps
something that has to do with encoding?

Cheers
Ivan

We end up calling String.CompareTo which performs a lexicographical comparison. 
This is the source of the different behavior.  This should be filed as a bug in
RubyForge if it hasn?t been already.
