hi all

we had a strange sort order on a attribute in a table with dashes (-) in the
data.

example

query with default NLS_SORT (NLS_LANGUAGE=american)

R/10-02         
R/1-01          
R/101-00        
R/101-03    

query with NLS_SORT=BINARY

R/1-01  
R/10-02 
R/101-00
R/101-03

Anyone with an explanation why this parameter is not default BINARY ?


thanks
