Editing Alphabetical order (section)

===Basic order and examples===
The standard order of the modern [[ISO basic Latin alphabet]] is:
:'''A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z'''

An example of straightforward alphabetical ordering follows:
*'''''As; Aster; Astrolabe; Astronomy; Astrophysics; At; Ataman; Attack; Baa'''''
Another example:
*'''''Barnacle; Be; Been; Benefit; Bent'''''
 
The above words are ordered alphabetically. ''As'' comes before ''Aster'' because they begin with the same two letters and ''As'' has no more letters after that whereas ''Aster'' does. The next three words come after ''Aster'' because their fourth letter (the first one that differs) is ''r'', which comes after ''e'' (the fourth letter of ''Aster'') in the alphabet. Those words themselves are ordered based on their sixth letters (''l'', ''n'' and ''p'' respectively). Then comes ''At'', which differs from the preceding words in the second letter (''t'' comes after ''s''). ''Ataman'' comes after ''At'' for the same reason that ''Aster'' came after ''As''. ''Attack'' follows ''Ataman'' based on comparison of their third letters, and ''Baa'' comes after all of the others because it has a different first letter.
