Why don't you run your query and find out for yourself?

Code:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MyTable ORDER BY UserName ASC/DESC"

So let me get this straight, you don't use ASP but you are wondering what the sort order would be? Why do you care if you are not a programmer? Is this for a school assignment?

Suggest you find the ASCII or UniCode representation of the hyphen and full stop and see for yourself -- Google is a wonderful tool for this.

You do realize this is an ASP forum.

How textual items are sorted has to do with collation, which is usually specific to a particular language like English or German. For example, while two languages may both use the ISO-8859-1 encoding, there may be characters that are sorted differently.

Needless to say, this isn't really programming language-specific, rather, based on the encoding and language used.
