Hello,

I'm trying to sort a list of symbols respecting some assumptions I have made about them. For example, I'd like to assume that 0<x<1, and I would like [x, x^2, x^3] to be sorted into [x^3, x^2, x]. How would I accomplish that? Making an assumption with assume() does not affect anything, as the sort() function does not seem to be actually comparing the values of symbols (only numeric values). Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
