    Compare anything

    (compare 'a 'b)
    => -1
    
    (compare 'a "a")
    => -1
    
    (compare '(a b 1) '(a b 2))
    => -1

    Your own order

    (defstruct fruit price weight)
    
    (defmethod compare ((a fruit) (b fruit))
      (compare (* (fruit-price a) (fruit-weight a))
               (* (fruit-price b) (fruit-weight b))))
    
    (let ((apple (make-fruit :price 0.3 :weight 100))
          (orange (make-fruit :price 4.5 :weight 1000)))
      (compare apple orange))
    
    => -1
