Are you sure? man test shows:
s1 = s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are identical.
s1 != s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
s1 < s2 True if string s1 comes before s2 based on the ASCII value
of their characters.
s1 > s2 True if string s1 comes after s2 based on the ASCII value
of their characters.
