In this email thread, the sender thanks Stephen for his feedback on an explanation of sorting. Stephen suggests that the explanation could be shortened and clarified by stating that the transaction IDs (TXIDs) of inputs should be compared as uint256 integers.

The sender believes that the algorithm in the BIP should target test cases rather than implementation and should leave little room for ambiguity.
