I was hoping that the our new version of postgres ( 8.1.11 ) would solve
the problem we see when authors are browsed.  Here is the problem:

Suppose we have the following 3 authors:

 Ta, A
 Ta, Z
 Tab, A

I would expect them to show up in the oder shown above when browsing by
author, but instead I get:

 Ta, A
 Tab, A
 Ta, Z

Which as you can see is not really the desired behavior. I created a
test table and loaded these values into a field of type text, and then
issued the following query:

 select * from test order by 1;
   a    
--------
 Ta, A
 Tab, A
 Ta, Z
(3 rows)

So I can see why Dspace is displaying this in this order.

The funny thing is that I'm fairly certain that I have seen the desired
ordering in some Dspace instances, so I'm not sure why ours is not
sorting correctly.  I'm running dspace 1.5.  Does this have to do with a
postgres or dspace setting?

Thank you!
Jose
