Compare the two strings and determine their alphabetical order. If the Maximum Length value is greater than 0, any characters after the specified number of characters are ignored. If Ignore Case is TRUE, then upper-case and lower-case letters are considered to be equal.

strEntered2 = Ask_String("Type the second string", "String_Less_Than_Test", 0, 0, "")
bLessThan = String_Less_Than(strEntered1, strEntered2, 0, TRUE)
