Perhaps something like this? Lol, it is late by me so my code may seem a little messy today and everything :D Murali, I really get the feeling that you are needing this code and the previous for some assignment of some sort. You do not even post any code as a guide-line, which raises suspicion. :?: ...

Something like this? ;;; Returns a string and 'T' if the list is in a desc. or asc. order, and NIL otherwise (defun ordered (list) (let ((list-dec (copy-list list))) (let ((list-inc (copy-list list))) (let ((alist (sort list-inc #'<))) (let ((dlist (sort list-dec #'>))) (cond ((equal list dlist) (fo...
