So, then please explain what should be the "correct" order within each
sub-list. Is the correct order within each sub-list in the ascending
order of the codepoint? If not, what is the correct order?

That's not what I see:
(let ((letters '("a" "b" "r" "x" "z")))
(sort letters 'string-lessp))
=> ("a" "b" "r" "x" "z")
Please show an example where characters a-z are sorted by string-lessp
in the wrong order.
