What is your actual problem that you are trying to solve by comparing
imaginary numbers?
The reals are an ordered field.
The complex numbers are a field but cannot support an ordering that is
consistent with
the field (or even ring) axioms.
The imaginary numbers are not a field or even a ring.
To quote Brian Marick's wonderful sticker, "An example would be good about now".
