For example is "Γ" before or after "G" which is before or after

I'm not surprised you didn't understood.

Is 10 before or after 3 which is before or after 5?

The 3 comes always before 5. Now, for 10, it can comes before or after
3 depending on the way you are sorting. If you are sorting strings, it's
before, if you are sorting numbers, it's after. Now, I'm able to answer
your question. Are you able to answer mine?

You are dumb!

Yes, I now that but it doesn't answer my question.

Characters are not sorted; numbers are sorted --
and this is the whole point of normalization.

I know you shit in your basement, so I believe everything's a mess in
your basement. But normal people in real life need to sort things to be
able to find them after. So, when they have books at home or when they
are going to a library to find books, they hope the books are sorted. If
they aren't sorted, they'll have to look at every book one by one to
find the one they want and it would take forever.

And it's easier to find books sorted by authors or by name than by
number of pages. I'm not sure you'd be able to understand why, but I
won't explain more the reason: you could try to find out by yourself,
but you would need to learn how to read first which would take forever.

So, your inability to find a way to sort characters doesn't prove there
is no need for it. It's something which can be solved, but not by you.

Of course, Chinese chars are way down the list with American
ASCII at the very top.  I suppose that, in time, the Chinese
will scrap Unicode and replace it with an encoding that has
their characters at the very top.

Once again, you wrote something only to show you don't know anything
about it. Sorting Chinese characters has nothing in common with sorting
English characters, so one needs to find a way to sort them together.
It's not that obvious.
