This is exactly my point. Growing up I thought alphabetical order was pretty sorted, then I grew up, and discovered that not only are there more characters, but people don't even agree on the _ordering_ of characters.
Thus alphabetical order becomes ambiguous depending on where you are.
_then_ you discover some symbol sets / languages don't have an order at all. Oh the world is complicated. I wish I was 4 again.
