Answer 1

They are compared as words are compared in a dictionary - lexically.

That's because they model language mainly and are supposed to behave like language.

In a dictionary, 10 would come before 7 (just as 'and' comes before 'by'), so it's smaller.

If you want to know more, google the ASCII table and the unicode order.
