    Please link LazyWolf's explanation to how string comparison works, all of us come from different skill levels and may never have come across this concept

    I understand you mean something else by string now based on your example.
    I am using Java for this kata.
    I will go look at what strings are in the Java Docs then -> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

    Documentation doesn't mention how to compare but I found Lazy Wolf's explanation at the bottom.

    I'm sorry I don't understand, what do you mean by string?
    Do you mean the input String "strng" in the kata?
    If a string contains ("2 1"), then "2" is before "1".
    If a string contains ("1 2"), then "1" is before "2".
    That's how I understand it, am I wrong?

    I agree 11<2000 but the instructions don't mention to sort by ascending order of numerical value. Is that what you mean?

    Okay, but the instructions are: "When two numbers have the same "weight", let us class them as if they were strings"

    Does 2000 and 11 have the same weight (2)?

    Which comes first in the input string 2000 or 11?
