Testing for equality and finding differences are trivial tasks indeed. 
It is the sort order I'm interested in. The meaning of the order is not 
really an issue, I'm rather looking for a consistent comparison function 
(in the __cmp__ sense) such as:
    if d1 > d2 and d2 > d3,
    then d1 > d3

I'm not sure the hashing method suggested by Albert guarantees that.
