POSIX lexicographical order, ignoring the case of characters. The problematic bit is probably the underscore, which in ASCII lies between upper and lower cases... "sort -f" folds to upper cases, and so names with underscores appear later in the list, while the script I used folds to lower cases, because it seemed more natural since most package names are lower cases.
