some computer programs ignore "white space" characters. with these
dark beast and darkbeast would be considered "indistinguishable" and darkness would occur before dark ride. This is NOT a "pure" alphabetical ordering. In a "pure" ordering, the space has higher prescedence than "a" - the most common exception is leftmost spaces. " z" would not (and should not) occur before "a".

does this make more sense?

a a
aa
aa a
a b

In the rules of alphabetization that I know and follow, a space comes before any letter. this is why dog comes before dogs, after all. So, dark ride should be before darkness. the space after the k precedes the n.

Darkness. The n is before the r (in Dark Ride) in the alphabet

Darkness
