I'm on Leopard, and this program:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

result = [3, 7, 4, 1, 8, 2, 8, 9].sort do |a, b|
  b <=> a
end
p result

Run from within TextMate gives me

[9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1]

I think that you've probably got something else going on in your
program. As someone else said, post a short program in its entirety
that will illustrate what you're seeing.
