  PlanetMath: lexicographic order
The lexicographic order yields a total order on the field of complex numbers.
If the original set is well-ordered, the lexicographic ordering on the product is also a well-ordering.
This is version 10 of lexicographic order, born on 2005-05-04, modified 2006-10-16.

  Order theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Order theory is a branch of mathematics that studies various kinds of binary relations that capture the intuitive notion of a mathematical ordering.
Orders appear everywhere - at least as far as mathematics and related areas, such as computer science, are concerned.
These are graphs where the vertices are the elements of the poset and the ordering relation is indicated by both the edges and the relative positioning of the vertices.

 Lexicographical order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An important exploitation of lexicographical ordering is expressed in the ISO 8601 date formatting scheme, which expresses a date as YYYY-MM-DD.
This date ordering lends itself to straightforward computerized sorting of dates such that the sorting algorithm does not need to treat the numeric parts of the date string any differently from a string of non-numeric characters, and the dates will be sorted into chronological order.
In algebra it is traditional to order terms in a polynomial, by ordering the monomials in the indeterminates.

 Wordwizard Clubhouse - New meaning for [lexicographical]
In the mathematical field of combinatorics ‘lexicographic ordering’ of the permutations of a set is defined such that the ordering of the permutations of the set {1,2,3} are 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, and 321 (which was easier to demonstrate by example than to express mathematically).
In set theory the ‘lexicographic ordering’ rule is that two subsets are ordered by their smallest elements.
And if you are familiar with matrices the lexicographic ordering of the elements of a 3x3 matrix ‘A’ will be A11, A12, A13, A21, A22, A23, A31, A32, A33 (the numbers are subscripts) with the letter identifying the matrix, the first number identifying the row, and the second number identifying the column.

In lexicographic order, the elements of A x B are (w,a), (w,b), (x,a), (x,b), (y,a), (y,b), (z,a), (z,b).
In lexicographic order, the elements of B x A are (a,w), (a,x), (a,y), (a,z), (b,w), (b,x), (b,y), (b,z).
This is lexicographic order on A x B x C based on numerical order in the first component and alphabetic order in each of the remaining two components.

 LGL - Ordering of Characters and Strings
Even when character ordering is logical, the usual filing of words in dictionaries does not correspond with the mathematical lexicographic ordering of strings, but some equivalence relation on characters is involved.
Arranging characters, and by extension strings, in order of representation codes may be convenient and efficient when the effect is hidden in a program, but it is clearly not suitable for application programming.
is a linear order on A. The value of function f may be interpreted as the rank of an element of A for the linear order.

 Twelf User's Guide - 7 Termination
The termination orders we construct are lexicographic or simultaneous extensions of the subterm ordering explained in section 7.2 Subterm Ordering.
All identifiers in the order specification of a termination declaration must be upper case, must occur in the call patterns, and no variable may be repeated.
On first-order terms, that is, terms not containing lambda-abstraction, the subterm ordering is familiar: M < N if M is a strict subterm of N, that is, M is a subterm N and M is different from N.

 1.3.4 Generating Permutations
The most natural generation order is lexicographic, the order they would appear if they were sorted numerically.
Lexicographic order for $n=3$ is $\{1,2,3\}$, $\{1,3,2\}$, $\{2,1,3\}$, $\{2,3,1\}$, $\{3,1,2\}$, and finally $\{3,2,1\}$.
Although lexicographic order is aesthetically pleasing, there is often no particular reason to use it.

 PlanetMath: hashing
Of course, in order to be able to tell if a location in the hash table is occupied, we need a special value called a “tombstone” to delimit an empty spot.
In order to guarantee that this will eventually get us to an empty space, hashing using this policy works best with a prime-sized hash table.
This just means that the lexicographic order of the hashed object locations is the same as the lexicographic order of the keys:

 Conservative Pruning Rules
We can also define a lexicographic ordering on the expressions based on the way they are derived.
Among all the children of a node with mathematically equivalent expressions, choose the one that is smallest in the lexicographic ordering.
The expression that is smallest in the lexicographic ordering is chosen because by rule 7, the subtree under such a node contains the subtree under a node representing the same expression and having the same parent node.

 RFC 3076 (rfc3076) - Canonical XML Version 1.0   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For UTF-16, the leading byte order mark is treated as an artifact of encoding and stripped from the UCS character data (subsequent zero width non-breaking spaces appearing within the UTF-16 data are not removed) [UTF-16, Section 3.2].
Lexicographic comparison, which orders strings from least to greatest alphabetically, is based on the UCS codepoint values, which is equivalent to lexicographic ordering based on UTF-8.
Also, a trailing #xA is rendered after the closing PI symbol for PI children of the root node with a lesser document order than the document element, and a leading #xA is rendered before the opening PI symbol of PI children of the root node with a greater document order than the document element.

 Citations: The rst-order theory of lexicographic path orderings is undecidable - Comon, Treinen (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Only recently the decidability of the rst order theory of recursive path orders in the case of unary signatures has been proven [14] A signature is called unary if it consists of unary function symbols and constants.
The result has to be contrasted with the undecidability results of the lexicographic path ordering [6] for the case of symbols with arity 2 and total precedence and for the case of unary signatures with partial precedence.
We recall that lexicographic path ordering (lpo) and the recursive path ordering and many other orderings such as [13, 10] coincide in the unary case.
