Compares two strings for alphabetical order, and returns a value accordingly

== Usage ==

<nowiki>{{Str gtr str|</nowiki>''first string''|''second string''|''value if true''|''value if false''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

==Examples==

*<nowiki>{{Str gtr str|zebra|aardvark|zebra comes after aardvark|aardvark comes after zebra}}</nowiki> returns {{Str gtr str|zebra|aardvark|zebra comes after aardvark|aardvark comes after zebra}}
*<nowiki>{{Str gtr str|cat|dog|cat comes after dog|dog comes after cat}}</nowiki> returns {{Str gtr str|cat|dog|cat comes after dog|dog comes after cat}}
*<nowiki>{{Str gtr str|same text|same text|true|false}}</nowiki> returns {{Str gtr str|same text|same text|true|false}}

Note that the strings are case dependant, and sorted in order of [[ASCII]] characters, so <nowiki>{{Str gtr str|Romeo|juliet|true|false}}</nowiki> returns {{Str gtr str|Romeo|juliet|true|false}}

==Limitations==

Only the first four characters of the strings are analysed, so that (for example) <nowiki>{{Str gtr str|Wikipedia|Wikicommons|true|false}}</nowiki> returns {{Str gtr str|Wikipedia|Wikicommons|true|false}}. ASCII characters outside the range 32-126 are treated as a space.
