My guess is that making everything uppercase removes weirdness of case.
Remember, a computer is not intelligent (neither am I really) but a
capital A's value is not equal to a lowercase a. Thus, The Who would
have a different sort value than THE WHO. It seems weird but that's my
guess.

I hope that sheds a little light on it for you!
