I did not attempt to better explain that, as I had inferred that the

noting "so long as the sort sequence is correct in hex", the values can be
compared.

Right, Vern did mention that earlier, but once he showed his code, it
was clear that he didn't realize just how many data types (including
RPG's bread-and-butter packed and zoned) do not have a "correct" sort
sequence.
