<ul>
<li>Go to <a href="https://j-novel.club/series" rel="nofollow ugc">https://j-novel.club/series</a>.</li>
<li>Enable A-Z sorting in the filter.</li>
<li>Advance the search results until you see titles that start with D.</li>
<li>Observe that <em>DUNGEON DIVE: Aim for the Deepest Level</em> appears in the list before <em>Dagashi-ya Yahagi: Setting Up a Sweets Shop in Another World</em>.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">My assumption is that each character is being compared by codepoint value, which is why the capital <code>U</code> in <code>DUNGEON</code> is considered alphabetically earlier than the lowercase <code>a</code> in <code>Dagashi</code> as capital letters have a lower codepoint than lowercase letters.</p>
<p dir="auto">This can be seen with other series that start with multiple capital letters, such as <em>RVing My Way into Exile with My Beloved Cat: This Villainess Is Trippin'</em> which appears before <em>Re:RE — Reincarnator Executioner</em> in the results.</p>
