@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jan 18, 2022):

I see the issue. It's not in the sorting, but in the calculation of the absolute value which is used for sorting. When declaring lengths as a decimal value, the value is getting rounded as it's being erroneously casted to an integer by the to_meters() function. For example, specifying a length as 0.5 meters will result in an incorrect absolute length, but a length of 50cm will not.
