Fair point, but how does it reconcile that 11 and 12 comes before 2?

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about this stuff. I’m a music major and I went all in on that, so I’m genuinely curious)

In alphabetical sorting 11 comes before 2 For the same reason AA is before B.

So that’s the joke then? That someone chose to alphabetically sort numbers?

The joke is that computers work this way, and it's aggravating.
