title: Comparing lists in Haskell, or more specifically what is lexicographical order?
body: <p>I'm just beginning this nice hashkell beginners tutorial:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://learnyouahaskell.com" rel="noreferrer">http://learnyouahaskell.com</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://learnyouahaskell.com/starting-out#an-intro-to-lists" rel="noreferrer">on this page on lists</a> he explains that lists are compared in compared in lexicographical order, he gives this example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ghci&gt; [3,2,1] &gt; [2,10,100]
  True
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From some googling it seems to me that  lexicographical ordering means in alphabetical or sequential number ordering(?), but I still can't make sense of this evaluating to True.</p>
  
  <p>I'm missing something obvious here, can anybody help?</p>
