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.
