Am I the only person wondering when you would ever need this in a bash
script?  What's the goal here -- writing your own Bubble Sort from
scratch in one of the worst imaginable languages for it?  Even when
writing a comparison function for a sort routine, you only want the
swaps to happen when the strings are unequal -- never when they're equal,
since that would just be a waste of time.

Of course, given who the OP is, I know better than to ask "WAYTTD".  I'd
never, EVER get an answer from them.

But maybe someone else can think of a use case.
