Hi Niknok This was indeed confirmed as a problem which has now been fixed by Massimo. You would have to download the latest version of the file tools.py from the 'trunk' in google code.

[web2py] Re: CRUD.search sorting order
Did you try the orderby fields without the .lower() ? I don't think you can do that.
