ASCII has nothing to do with how letters "should" be sorted. It is not a sorting standard, it is a character encoding standard. If you open a dictionary, you won't (usually) find all upper case letters before all lower case letters. The sort orders provided by glibc are, individual bugs aside, correct, where "correct" means, they implement various national and international standards. (Equally, the sort orders on Mac OS X are, degenerate cases aside, broken, because they don't implement any recognized sorting standard.) Of course, you are not required to like them, and there are many people who have particular issues with them, but you won't get far claiming they are wrong, if you don't have a recognized alternative source to point to that defines correctness. -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
