Global Address List and special character sort order

I'm working on some material for a presentation and one of the topics is using special characters as part of the naming standard (when naming objects such as mail groups, conference rooms, etc...). If you use special characters in the display names of these objects, they will all sort together in the Global Address List. Here is a list of some of these characters along with the sort order (ascending to descending)

' (back tick)
- (hyphen)
! (exclamation)
# (pound symbol)
$ (dollar)
% (percent symbol)
& (ampersand)
( (open parenthesis)
) (close parenthesis)
* (asterisk)
@ (at symbol)
^ (carrot)
_ (underscore)
~ (tilde)
+ (plus)
= (equals)
