Peter Dietz commented on DS-362:
--------------------------------

I ran into this issue with us:
GAMES
GAME THEORY
And the sorting behaved as though it was trimming spaces from the sort: GAMES < 
GAMET

On further looking, postgres collation was set to UTF8-en_US.

To remedy this for us, I've dumped the database, created a new database with 
collation of C. And restored the DB from the backup, and now sorting works 
correctly / as expected.

GAME THEORY
GAMELAN
GAMES

This solved not through DSpace hackery, but through a properly sorted/collated 
database.

> Browsing by author in XMLUI yields strange alphabetization. E.g. from 
> mi...@uw (screenshot attached):
> Choudhury, Anindo
> Choudoir, Christopher
> Chounard, Edward
> Chou, Richard M.
> Chousal, L.
> Chow, D.
> Chowdhury, Mashrur
> Cho, Yoonyoung
> Choy, Young Bin
> What seems to be happening is that the indexer is running words together 
> (ignoring spaces) and then alphabetizing. Correct behavior (at least in 
> English) would be putting word-boundary before "a".
