How to compare two complex numbers?

I am trying to implement Muller's method for computing the complex root of a polynomial.
Here r1,r2 could be complex in nature.
How do i compare r1 and r2. r1 >= r2 doesnt seem to be working. I have read elsewhere that > operator compares only the real part of the complex number. Is this true?

Then use
abs(r1) < abs(r2)
You notice this is NOT the same than r1 < r2 even for real numbers.
If you apply the first definition with r1=-4 and r2=2 it returns FALSE, which is kind of not comfortable to believe.
In fact there is no order relation for complex numbers.
TMW decides to implement a order relation on complex field that is extended from real number ordering, but rarely pertinent for application.
