    I tried making a language-agnostic description. It would only need to add a comment in solution setup to precise the type of greek_alphabet. It shouldn't be too difficult as there is currently one approved language.

    Description Write a comparator for a list of phonetic words for the letters of the greek alphabet.

    A comparator is:

    a custom comparison function of two arguments (iterable elements) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than the second argument

    (source: https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#sorted)

    The greek alphabet is preloaded for you as greek_alphabet. Its type (e.g., tuple, list, table, etc.) depends on your language and is specified in a comment within the solution setup:

    greek_alphabet = [
      "alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta",
      "eta", "theta", "iota", "kappa", "lambda", "mu",
      "nu", "xi", "omicron", "pi", "rho", "sigma",
      "tau", "upsilon", "phi", "chi", "psi", "omega"
    ]
    

    Examples

    Inputs: "alpha", "beta"
    Ouput: a negative number
    
    Inputs: "psi", "psi"
    Ouput: 0
    
    Inputs: "upsilon", "rho"
    Output: a positive number
    

    code to copy/paste Write a comparator for a list of phonetic words for the letters of the [greek alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet).

    The greek alphabet is preloaded for you as `greek_alphabet`. Its type (e.g., tuple, list, table, etc.) depends on your language and is specified in a comment within the solution setup:

    ```
    greek_alphabet = [
      "alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta", "epsilon", "zeta",
      "eta", "theta", "iota", "kappa", "lambda", "mu",
      "nu", "xi", "omicron", "pi", "rho", "sigma",
      "tau", "upsilon", "phi", "chi", "psi", "omega"
    ]
    ```

    ## Examples

    ```
    Inputs: "alpha", "beta"
    Ouput: a negative number

    Inputs: "psi", "psi"
    Ouput: 0

    Inputs: "upsilon", "rho"
    Output: a positive number
    ```

    I focused in the first time. DO YOU?

    Let me give hint, right hhhh

    You need to compare indices of the elements. Got that?

    Have a fun.

    iterable elements

    this is missing context which is in the original source text but is not applicable here. it should be removed.

    Hello ejini战神,

    Was not expecting a reply on this one it is three years ago now.

    From what I can tell Hobvosky gave me some help with this one and I managed to solve it a few months later... you can see I thank him on my solution.

    Nonetheless, thank you for your help as you have helped me on several occassions and your right in what you say.

    Not a kata issue, you should return numbers instead of strings

    python new test framework is required. updated in this fork

    I think that's an error from the testing. Thank you for the aclaration.

    The description isn't clear and I think that the testing is not very well. That's my opinion.

    The description does not give a clear idea of the task at hand. I strongly recommend expanding the explanatory part . . .
    Friend, if you came here because you can't solve the problem and are now looking for at least some clue. So know this: YOUR difficulties began because the author did not give a normal explanation

    Thank you.
    I was really distracted with the error I got.
