The directly measured redshifts of the long gamma-ray bursts Ð obtained from the afterglow data - are separated into two samples. The bursts detected first by the Swift satellite gives the \\\"Swift-sample\\\"; the remaining ones forms the \\\"non-Swift-sample\\\".We perfored five statistical tests to compare the redshifts in these two samples. All theses tests show that in the Swift sample the redshifts are on average larger.
