Explanation

In the ASCII character set, character values are ordered sequentially starting with spaces (code 32), followed by various punctuation and special characters, then numeric digits (codes 48-57), uppercase letters (codes 65-90), and finally lowercase letters (codes 97-122). Distractor sequences incorrectly position letters or digits ahead of spaces and symbols.
