Description

Use the bytes keyword to sort or select individual bytes.

A byte is a single letter, digit, punctuation mark, or control character.

Note: At present the bytes keyword is identical in functionality to the characters keyword. However, it should be used when strings containing binary data are being manipulated to ensure future efficiency.
