What is the priority order of characters when sorting manuals by name?

2022-02-01 03:46:39 UTC 2026-07-31 10:23:26 UTC

The priority order of characters is as follows.

  1. Half-width (symbols > numbers > uppercase letters > lowercase letters)
  2. Full-width (symbols > hiragana > katakana > kanji > numbers > uppercase letters > lowercase letters)
  3. Half-width katakana

Checkpoints when the order is not as expected

  • Check if there is a blank space at the beginning of the title
  • Depending on the viewing environment, characters may look the same but actually have different character codes
    Example: ➂ (U+2782) and ③ (U+2762)
