A Fair point.
The answer is whatever seems _naturally_ correct from a users point of view.
I think the answer is yes.
Elephant
entropy

élan
i.e. In the order in which they would appear in a dictionary.

'Ant' is not equal to 'ant' but 'Ant'<'ant'<'Ante'<'ante'
i.e.
Ant
ant
Ante
ante
Would be a sensible sort order.
I hope that makes things a bit clearer.
