listsize([_, _, _, _ | _], 'BIG') :- !.
listsize(_, small).
Hence it is easy to extend this to nth, at least for small lists.

ascending(L) :- sort(L, S),
( L = S ->
write(yes)
; listsize(L, S1),listsize(S, S1) ->
write(no)
;
write(maybe)
).

Unfortunately there were several syntax errors on the system I ran it
on, so I am unable to help you in detail. However, try reading some of
Dijkstra's work. I think he develops a shortest path algorithm quite
nicely.
