What's the logic behind the following, and where can I find any documentation about it? In particular, why are 2:9 - as characters - not regarded as being smaller than 10?

# R-Code:
a <- as.character(1:12)

a < 10
# [1] TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

Thanks in advance!
