If you only want to compare the digital parts, you just need to remove the non-digital parts and compare the size.
if you want to compare alphabetic parts, you should make a distinction. For a b c, just convert it to lowercase and make a case comparison. For trial, demo, unregistered, you need to make a dictionary.
