I think I answered this in another post... If you want to order text
strings (as complex numbers in an index in a book, or in a lexicographic
sort are) do so. I understand the importance it has to you, but it's
hardly reasonable to argue that Python should do the most unintuitive
thing with complex numbers by default just because it suits you.
