Android/Windows context prefix sort order

[Lisa Stroyan]

I posted this to the beta group a while back but realized I should post it more broadly. 

If you add special characters in front of your contexts to separate groups in the context views, and if you want those groups in a particular order, it's difficult because the sorting is different between Android and Windows. 

It was driving me crazy that I couldn't find prefixes to make things sort the way I wanted, consistently on both platforms.  I finally found something though -- I think the following order sorts the same on both.  There are probably others as well, this is just what I found with a quick experiment.

(I also found that the first character is sorted differently than the rest).

I like to use numbers on my contexts and not symbols:
1-Errands
1-Home
2-Children
3-Office
3-Computer

This not only sorts them but also groups them.
