The less-than operator (<) compares two values. If the first value is less than the second value, the result of the operation is TRUE. Otherwise, the result of the operation is FALSE. If the two values are Boolean, TRUE is greater than FALSE. If the two values are strings, the operation is case-sensitive.
The less-than operator (~<) only compares string values and is not case-sensitive.
Examples:
1 < 2
Result = TRUE
2 < 1
Result = FALSE
'crow' < 'CROW'
Result = FALSE
'crow' ~< 'CROW'
Result = FALSE
