Is there a place within the OS or online to see the logic behind sorting left-to-right of Unicode characters in names? There are many sets each just of Latin-derived letters and Arabic-based numerals, in addition to many times more of various more specialized characters. Where can I view the ordering of their collective sorting structure within various Windows applications (in particular, File Explorer)? I am using a laptop running presently 11Pro. re-directed from https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_11-files/where-can-i-view-complete-ordering-of-within/8af8caa3-27b5-4edd-bceb-a2cfcb7078f0; didn't find any dupes searching here at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/topics/windows-11.html, apologies if there is.
Normally it's based on Unicode character-set order, with special rules for common symbols.
