This is a really solid deep-dive. I like how you move from this seems obviouscases (ints, strings) into the subtle edge cases where ordering quietly breaks and then show practical encodings that actually work in byte-lex order. The examples make the pitfalls very concrete, especially the varint and tuple sections. Nice balance between theory and systems-level pragmatism
