[Bug-apl] Question about behavior of ⍋

[David Lamkins]

Given a list of character vectors (and scalars), grade appears to generate the permutation vector first by length then by content.

      ⍋'aaa' 'xx' 'y' 'bbb' 'cc'
3 5 2 1 4

This seems counterintuitive. It seems as if ⍋ treats character strings like numbers. Is this a bug?
