Re: [Help-smalltalk] What is wrong with my sort: block?

[Ladislav Marek]

You are using non-local return in block, thats not correct (in this
case). ^false will return from your method and sort: will not be
completed. Last expression is the result in block, so correct code is:

myCollection sort: [ :a :b | a value not ].
myCollection inspect.
