Hello, Tom.
Thank you for your e-mail
Even though I am not familiar with the exact procedure to switch to other
locales,
I'm gonna research this more deeply.
Anyway, I would appreciate if you could spare me some time and give me a
couple of pointers to this subject.
Again, thank you
Best,
Oliveiros

If any one can explain me exactly how the order by clause works on
varchars,
I 'd really appreciate it.
It sorts according to the sort order imposed by your locale setting
(see LC_COLLATE in particular).
A lot of locales have weird and wonderful rules that embody somebody's
notion of "dictionary order". If you don't like it, try switching to
C locale. Or you could learn enough about locale definitions to create
your own.
