Comment(by atagar):
> But it DOESN'T mean inverse ordinal order. What makes you think it does?
Because the best description I've found for lexical sorting seems to say
so...
http://www.acrobatfaq.com/atbref5/index/ObjectsConcepts/Codingconventions
/Sorting-lexicalandnumeri.html
"In fact such sorts look at the underlying ASCII/Unicode character number
and sort from lowest to highest for each character, in turn of a word or
string of characters."
> Let me try again: "strcmp(a,b) is < 0 if and only if a lexically
precedes b." Does that explain what lexical order is?
So lexical order is "whatever strcmp() does"? That's frustrating. Ok, I'll
look around for documentation on strcmp() then.
