Yes, that's it.

I made very serious test : with only 7 documents, always regenerating the database from scratch to prevent corruption problems of the database ; to do so I used :
time rundig -v -s -a -c /etc/htdig/htdig.essai.conf|tee /var/lib/htdig/essai1.txt
and I always controlled the process. The rundig script is the original script (not modified).
I am quite sure the database is not corrupted.
So it should be a problem of sorting...
My config :
Pentium Pro 200
Linux Mandrake 7.0 ; automatic install in french.
(As I am a Linux newbie, I don't know which things would help you. One think I am quite sure is I didn't made much changes on the original config. In particular, I didn't make "locale" changes (I don't know how to do it !...)).
ht://Dig 3.1.5 installed via a RPM specially made for Mandrake 7.0, by MandrakeSoft, downloded at :
ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/htdig-3.1.5-2mdk.i586.rpm
(note ftp.ciril.fr is an official mirror for MandrakeSoft).
I made an normal install of the RPM without changing anything but the htdig.conf file :
-- I add locale: fr_FR
-- I modified other attributes which not deal with locale problem.

Strange thing : when I put locale: en_US in htdig.essai.conf, the result is the same !
And accented chars are still in db.wordlist, in the same order as before...

Ooops, yes ! Sorry.

Actual machines are still going against cultural diversity : there is nothing to type easily accented UPPERCASE on are french (and probably even Quebec) keyboards. (You have to remember Alt+0201 for an �...).
