The document defines ascending and descending order for sorting different data types. Ascending order sorts from smallest to largest for numbers and A to Z for letters, putting the earliest or lowest items at the top of the list. Descending order is the opposite, sorting from largest to smallest numbers and Z to A letters, with the latest or highest items appearing at the top. Both ascending and descending order can sort data containing both numbers and letters alphanumerically.
