ASCIIbetical order /as'kee-be'-t*-kl or'dr/ adj.,n.
Used to indicate that data is sorted in ASCII collated order rather

with non-alphabetic characters moved to the end. "At my video
store, they used their computer to sort the videos into
ASCIIbetical order, so I couldn't find `"Crocodile" Dundee' until I
thought to look before `2001' and `48 HRS.'!"
