Davis and Dillon Brown}, title = {{A Sortable Base64 Alphabet}}, pagetotal = 10, year = 2026, month = apr, day = 10, abstract = {This document details a formal specification for a new Base64 alphabet which follows the US-ASCII ordering and sorts the same as binary. This serves as an alternative variant to Base64 and Base64url when lexicographically sortable outputs are required. The alphabet re-uses the Base64url special characters and is designed to be compatible with existing Base64 implementations, while providing a new option for applications that require sorted output.}, }
