Hi, I originally interpreted Erik's reply to mean -> Instead of `#(last (sort %&))` do `#((comp last sort) %&)`. This works without any issue.
Herwig's suggestion was about replacing the entire anonymous function with `(comp last sort vec)`. The example you gave `((comp last sort) 3 2 1)`, even if we make it `((comp last sort vec) 3 2 1)`, it will throw an error about `vec` being called with too many parameters. For it to work with variable args, as Herwig said in his reply to me, we need a function that can return a sequence from a varargs. `vector` or `list would work, not `vec`. It should be `((comp last sort list) 3 2 1)`. Please correct me if I am understanding this wrong.
