Subject: list sorting problem

Message-ID: <a9539p$k1s$1@news.parc.xerox.com> (raw)
Can someone help me with the sorting function? I'm getting the following
behavior.
(setq before '(("FEATa" "NP4" "N" . "another comment about np")
("FEATURE" "NP3" "N" . "another comment about np")))
display before:
before's value is
(("FEATa" "NP4" "N" . "another comment about np")
("FEATURE" "NP3" "N" . "another comment about np"))
sort before:
(sort before (lambda (a b) (string< (car a) (car b))))
display before:
before's value is
(("FEATa" "NP4" "N" . "another comment about np"))
One of the list elements disappears. This happens in Emacs 20.7.1. Can
someone tell me what is going on? Thanks --
