+**Base Encoding and Lexicographic Order**
+
+It is important to realise that not all base-encodings preserve lexicographic sort order. The UUID (hex-encoding) and `base58btc` alphabet does, but the `base64` alphabet does not. Make sure to pick an appropriate base encoding if you are expecting to compare the `IdSortable` as base-encoded strings.

+ <p><strong>Base Encoding and Lexicographic Order</strong></p>
+ <p>It is important to realise that not all base-encodings preserve lexicographic sort order. The UUID (hex-encoding) and <code>base58btc</code> alphabet does, but the <code>base64</code> alphabet does not. Make sure to pick an appropriate base encoding if you are expecting to compare the <code>IdSortable</code> as base-encoded strings.</p>
