Maybe it boils down to something like this?

- compare strings considering only primary weights
- only in the case where two strings are identical sequences of primary
  weights, fall back to comparing secondary weights
- then ditto for tertiary, quaternary

Since 'a' and 'A' have the same primary weight, this would give
[aA] < [aA][aA]
