It's probably a default ordering or an ordering by an unshown database ID value....

It’s simple alphabetic.

Is "slash" (/) before or after "space" ( ) ... or both... before and after it?

Is 8 before or after 4 in the alphabet?

No, there's no reasonable ordering going on.

If it were ordered by ordinal values, "/" is 47 and " " is 32, so "1 in" would come before "1/2 in".

It's not alphabetized by letter word. Because while "Eight" comes before "Four", "Specialty" would come before "Three".

No matter which way you attempt to order it, something is out of order.

Softtalker probably got it right. This is some default or id sort.

Before. _E_ight vs _F_our.

But _T_wo is also before _F_our

The sorting briefly switches to reverse order there, so no contradiction.

3/8 doesn’t come before 3/4 alphabetically.
