Ah! You're talking about Racket or Scheme!

```

> (sort '(3 1 2) (lambda (a b) (< a b)))

'(1,2,3)

```

I suppose you ought to go and tell the r6rs standardisation team that a HN user vehemently disagrees with their api: https://www.r6rs.org/document/lib-html-5.96/r6rs-lib-Z-H-5.h...

To address your actual pedantry, clearly you have some implicit normative belief about how a book about category theory should be written. That's cool, but this book has clearly chosen another approach, and appears to be clear and well explained enough to give a light introduction to category theory.
