Hey Bob,

And your point is?

"a" > "b"
--> false

"b" > "a"
--> true

You are NOT comparing numerical values.  You're comparing string values, and those have different rules.

10 = "10"
--> false

10 > "10"
--> false

10 < "10"
--> false

10 = "10" as integer
--> true

So what exactly are you trying to do?

Best Regards,
Chris
