PayPal Fail
It seems PayPal took a list of states, sorted them alphabetically, then converted them to two-letter abbreviations, which are no longer in alphabetical order. State names and state abbreviations don't always sort identically. Now you know.
In the grand scheme of things, it isn't the biggest possible corporate failure imaginable. It seems like PayPal took a list of states, sorted them alphabetically, and then converted them to 2-character abbreviations – which are then not sorted alphabetically.
So, yeah, state names and state abbreviations don't always sort identically. Now you know.
That is all.
