+<h1 id="overview"><span>1. </span>Overview</h1>
+
+<p> The UINT collating sequences is a <a href="loadext.html">loadable extension</a> for
+SQLite that implements a new collating sequence that compares text
+containing unsigned integers in numeric order.
+
+</p><p> The UINT collating sequence is not a standard part of SQLite.
+It must be loaded as a separate extension. The source code to
+UINT is in the <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc/uint.c">uint.c source file</a>
+in the <a href="https://sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc">ext/misc/ folder</a> of the
+SQLite source tree.
+
+</p><p> The UINT collating sequence is not included in standard builds of
+the SQLite library, but it is loaded by default in the <a href="cli.html">CLI</a>. This
+is typical of the <a href="cli.html">CLI</a> which loads various extensions above and beyond
+what are available in the standard SQLite library.
+
+</p><p> The UINT collating sequence works just like the default
+BINARY collating sequence for text, except that embedded strings
+of digits compare in numeric order.
+
+</p><ul>
+<li><p>
+Leading zeros are handled properly, in the sense that
+they do not mess of the maginitude comparison of embedded
+strings of digits. "x00123y" is equal to "x123y".
+
+</p></li><li><p>
+Only unsigned integers are recognized. Plus and minus
+signs are ignored. Decimal points and exponential notation
+are ignored.
+
+</p></li><li><p>
+Embedded integers can be of arbitrary length. Comparison
+is not limited to integers that can be expressed as a
+64-bit machine integer.
+</p></li></ul>
