How does String.CompareTo work?

When I compare strings containing positive / negative numbers like:

int res1 = "-1".CompareTo("1");
int res2 = "-1".CompareTo("2");

res1 is
1.res2 is -1.

How does String.CompareTo work? This would mean that the order is "2 -1 1" ...

From MSDN :

Certain non-alpha-numeric characters may have special weights, theirs. For example, a hyphen ("-") may have very little weight assigned to it so that "coop" and "coop" appear next to each other in a sorted list.



Edit: Forgot to mention, this has to do with the enum CompareOptions

used string.Compare

.
