 For Complex numbers, first the real parts are compared. If equal,
 the imaginary parts are compared.
 
-Strings are compared lexically.
+Strings are compared with a natural sorting algorithm, which
+orders strings in a "logic" way following some heuristics.
+This differs from the function `compare`, which converts the string
+into a numeric value and compares that. The function `compareText`
+on the other hand compares text lexically.
 
 Arrays and Matrices are compared value by value until there is an
 unequal pair of values encountered. Objects are compared by sorted
