String UDA defer the evaluation of the sort_compare method to the '<' operator of the Variant class, since the logic for comparing string UDAs (which can have custom sort orders) is already implemented there. However, since primary use case of Variant is the filter evaluation, it handles trivial (empty) values in a manner which does not allow for its direct usage as the comparison operator between sort UDAs. When filtering, a trivial (empty) value should neither match 'uda < A' nor 'uda >= A'. However, when sorting tasks upon values of this UDA, precisely one of the above expressions *must* be true. This commit implements the UDA string sorting logic directly in the sort_compare method.
