[erlang-questions] Sets from list then to list?

[Alexander Lamb]

Hello (list:-)

Using list comprehension, I am building a list of tuples that I want  
unique and sorted.

Is this a correct way of doing it:

Result = sets:to_list(sets:from_list([ {A,B} || {_X,_Y,A,_Z,B} <-  
MyList]))

Then sort the Result.

The alternative would be to use one of the lists functions to copy  
elements into a new list and testing first at each insert if the  
element is already present.

What is best?

Thanks,

Alex
