This basically means that in JS "Aardvark" is considered lesser than "Zoroaster" because JS uses something called Lexicographical Ordering, also known as Dictionary Order because dictionaries also use the same order when listing words.

You can compare strings using the equality, greater-than and less-than operators.

Using either greater-than or less-than will perform a dictionary style comparison, ie which comes first in the dictionary?
