For the sake of completeness, my first steps before sorting and plotting were to:
1. take the mean, median and mode of each set,
2. try and fail to use more sophisticated statistical analysis [1],
3. have a look at the minimum and maximum value for each set.
[1] In fact, could anyone point me to a refresher? I'm talking about distribution curves, regression, that kind of thing. I seem to have lost hang of it — couldn't pass my own "5 minutes to implement the simple thing" criterion.
