That's fine, but then we shouldn't label it as "alphabetically sort".

Truly alphabetic sorting is deterministic, too, so that is *not* the
reason why you are not being strictly alphabetic. The true reason
is because it is easier to apply mechanical sorting in ascii order
than truly sort alphabetically. Both are equally deterministic and
reproducible. Alphabetic might be easier for humans to see and
understand, but you value mechanical ease of sorting and that is why
you chose ascii order over alphabetical sorting.
