Pyth - 19

qS@cz", "0S@cz", "1

Try it here. Note that the two words in the input must be separated by a comma and a space.

Python Mapping and explanation

q                     #      equal(              "Check equality"
 S                    #      sorted(             "Sort"
  @                   #      list looku          "Extract element from list"
   c                  #      chop(               "Separate by delimiter"
    z                 #      input(              "Input variable"
     ", "             #      ", "                "This delimiter"
         0            #      0                   "The 0th element"
          S@cz", "1   #      ..                  "The same thing with the 1st element

I'm sure someone can come up with a shorter implementation, but I've only been learning Pyth for a few days. It would also be a lot shorter if I didn't stick strictly to the input format given in the question. Good practice though!

I'm sure someone can come up with a shorter implementation, but I've only been learning Pyth for a few days. It would also be a lot shorter if I didn't stick strictly to the input format given in the question.

For instance:

qS@Q0S@Q1

Which is only 9 bytes, works if the input is formatted like 'parse','spare'. So which one do you count?

Good practice though!
