OK, so the two quirks we identified are:

a. QSort's method "sortObjectsIn()" method does not seem to work from 
Java- QSort does not seem able to use, by default, a compare method 
called "compare".  (This DOES work in Objective-C Swarm.)

b. But when you use "sortObjectsIn$using()" and explicitly give it a 
comparison selector, the comparison method that the selector points to 
must not be called "compare".

Thanks Marcus!
