[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54241] Lookup documentation

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #54241 (project octave):

With regard to lexicographic comparisons, I wonder if it would be useful to
introduce a new function, say, lexcmp() that has a behavior like

lexcmp([3 2 1], [1 2 3]) -> 1
lexcmp([1 2 3], [3 2 1]) -> -1
lexcmp([1 2 3], [1 2 3]) -> 0
lexcmp('abc', 'xyz') -> -1
lexcmp('abc', 'abc') -> 0
etc.

It would be convenient to have such a thing.  Then one could do something
like

ls =sortrow(lexdata);
lexcmp([3 2 4], lexdata);
