I didn't understand the code snippet you sent, but it appears to have rounding
errors.  'sort' doesn't have rounding errors when doing the comparison in
question.  Let's not introduce them now.

It has to.  It's rounding to 2-3 digits.

Sorry, I don't understand that comment. 'sort -h' does not round. It doesn't have to. Your code *does* round, and I suppose in some sense it "has to", but that's a bug compared to what 'sort' does now.
