Hi Zach

To be honest I am not sure which part of challenge are you talking about since when I checked your challenge it is about counting letters in tiles of Scrabbles. Those challenge should not involving char or String type variable comparison. But let's just set those aside to answer your question is java recognize alphabetical order? The shortest answer is if you set it correctly yes Java can recognize alphabetical orders especially for char and String type objects.
