Why is "Python" > "Chocolate", since Python is after Chocolate, shouldn't Chocolate be greater than Python?

I'm taking the quiz to comparing values right now, then "Python" > "Chocolate" came up with the option true & false, I clicked on false (since I thought chocolate is greater than python) but that turned out to be wrong and the right answer is true. So that makes Python is greater than Chocolate? Or am I just misunderstanding the code lol

Hi Artithaya, Think of A-Z as on a number line 1-26. The letter c (3) would be less than p (16).

Hope this helps.
