0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, if they are equal then sorting is based on case ?
comparing other values would likely produce a nil value as it can't convert it to a number for comaprison, which leads to a nil, which leads to type inequality, which leads to false, if it all makes sense somehow

The default operator < in Lua requires that both operands are of the same type:

Strings are compared using strcoll:

What we have in ESO is some custom-made string comparison. Perhaps it supports multi-byte UTF-8 characters, I haven't checked that. It doesn't support ASCII punctuation, that's broken enough in my eyes
