Isn't lexicographic order the one where the integer 100 comes before the integer 11? That is, I thought that it was a character set based comparison rather than a numeric comparison. [[User:Stormneedle|Stormneedle]] 04:26, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
: No. "Lexicographic" only refers to the list as whole, not when comparing its individual elements. The elements are compared by whatever is natural, which probably means numerical comparison function (100 > 11, 11 > 2). --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 04:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
:: Well that wasn't clear. So doesn't that imply no padding? --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 04:47, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
