Javascript:

console.log("A" > "a") //Intuition says true

Swift:

print("A">"a") //Intuition says true

What is the expected result? My mental about English alphabets were Upper case letters were bigger than Lower case letters. Hence I expected the result to be true.

Result is:

false

Why is my intuition wrong?

My mental model of alphabets was correct in Real-world but the Programming languages' model about alphabets are different than mine.
