JS "Greater than" operator;

This expression:

'33.33' > '100.00'

return true. Why?

If it work like:

+'33.33' > +'100.00'

it must return false because 33.33 < 100;

If like:

'33.33'.length > '100.00'.length

then false, because 5 < 6;

I'm really interested know, how it work in the first case;

OK. I feel ashamed. While I wrote & formated this post, I find the answer.

For string compare JS use Lexicographical order; So, in this case we have just:

'3' > '1'

and it's really true.

Maybe it would be interesting for someone.
