How does String.CompareTo work?
c#, compare, string
Solution
From MSDN:
Certain nonalphanumeric characters might have special weights assigned to them. For example, the hyphen ("-") might have a very small weight assigned to it so that "coop" and "co-op" appear next to each other in a sorted list.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this is related to the `CompareOptions` enumeration used by `string.Compare`.
Problem
When I compare strings containing positive/negative numbers, for example: ``` int res1 = "-1".CompareTo("1"); int res2 = "-1".CompareTo("2"); ``` res1 equals 1. res2 equals -1. How does String.CompareTo work?? That would mean it is order is "2 -1 1"...
