Subject: [ruby-core:17708] [Ruby 1.8 - Bug #252] (Open) Array#sort doesn't respect overridden <=>

Issue #252 has been reported by Ryan Davis.

----------------------------------------
Bug #252: Array#sort doesn't respect overridden <=>
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/252

Author: Ryan Davis
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Yukihiro Matsumoto
Category: 
Target version: 


We had this issue reported against rubinius. We're not sure whether it is a bug or a feature in MRI.

class String
  def <=>(other)
    self.length <=> other.length
  end
end
 
junk = %w[these words should be sorted in the order of their length]
puts junk.sort

MRI (1.8, 1.9) does not respect new behavior of <=>.

Bug or feature?
