Well, it does indeed seem that this is not dependent on the PostgreSQL version, because I see the same incorrect behavior out of version 8.3.3.
The immediate problem is not the lack of ORDER BY; the immediate problem is that ORDER BY does not seem to work for these data. I tried the same experiment, completely unconnected with DSpace, and got the same result: "b" sorts before some "," and after others...or, more likely, the data are returned in entry order regardless of ORDER BY. I've tested both CHAR and VARCHAR and they both do this. INT columns are ordered properly. -- Mark H.
