Assume both items are words (I'm working with two-letter words, but I don't think length matters). I need a script that tells me which is later alphabetically. Could someone please show me how to do it?

I'd be happy with a script that just reports which is earlier alphabetically (I'll adapt it to the situation). How do I do it?

I kind of have bits in my head, but it would involve having a list of each item of the aplphabet, and using a counter variable to compare the letters. hmm

OK... I think I know how it would go from there. I'll use this idea. Thanks!

Requesting closure.

It's like one of those things you can do as you go along, but can't really explain it until you do it. tongue
