I see you wrote this before Ranier mentioned that you shouldn't sort a
constant.  The expression should be:

   (sort (list "zyzzyva" "zyzzyvas") #'string<)

("zyzzyva" "zyzzyvas")

Don't worry, every other Common Lisp will return the same thing.

Why?
Are you trying to test conformance with the standard?

The correct behavior (modulo not modifying a constant) is mandated by
the ANSI standard.
