I am a bit confused about all the above.
Especially the parts about using great-than and less-than to compare strings. Trying to program this way seems broken no matter what the language.

There are orders over the strings. One of them is even a total order, and is even understandable and useful (well, for alphabetic ones, it's sometimes a bit hard to generalize to even US-ASCII, and worse for UTF-8+locale), the lexicographic order (the one you learn when one gives you a dictionary).
