It does a loop and test each characters in turn. The first pair of 
missmatching will trigger the condition. A successfull test for equality 
is the longest, or if only the last character is different, as you had 
to compare every characters.

"a"<"b"
"Z"<"a" as uppercase come before lower case
"a"<"aa" second "a" is compares to NULL
"b">"aa" The second "a" is ignored as the first characters are different.
