Special character sort order (GAL)
I have worked with Exchange for quite a few years and the thought of trying
to find the sort of order of special characters inside the GAL never crossed my
mind…I wasn’t surprised to see the list on Jim McBee’s blog though:
' (back tick)
- (hyphen)
! (exclamation)
# (pound symbol)
$ (dollar)
% (percent symbol)
& (ampersand)
( (open parenthesis)
) (close parenthesis)
* (asterisk)
@ (at symbol)
^ (carrot)
_ (underscore)
~ (tilde)
+ (plus)
= (equals)

The reason I wasn’t surprised is that Jim (in my opinion) is one of the most knowledgeable
people that I know in regards to Exchange. His ‘Exchange 24x7’ books were my bible…
