title: Sort order of blob list in Azure
body: <p>The <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd135734.aspx" rel="nofollow">List Blobs</a> article on MSDN says that:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Blobs are listed in alphabetical order in the response body, with upper-case letters listed first.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, alphabetical ordering depend on which culture they're using, or is there a precise meaning of <em>alphabetical order</em> that they are implicitly referring to?</p>
  
  <p>I want to know the exact ordering scheme. I'm guessing (and hoping) that they are using the ordinal (binary) sorting rules, equivalent to  <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.stringcomparison.aspx" rel="nofollow">StringComparison.Ordinal</a> in .NET.</p>
