sorting terminology can be explained better

[nicholastanvis]

The term lexicographical may be explained better to the target audience. Since your tasks are sorted according to the ascii value, this term can also be avoided and instead use easier terms to explain

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Sorting is not done in lexicographical order

The sorting is done by comparing the ascii values of the taskName. As such, a task with the name "Homework" will be placed before "class" and this is not lexicographical.

The compareTo method for Strings was used to sort. The Java Docs describe it as lexicographical, which is where we get our description.
