C sorts by byte value, which ends up being AB...Zab...z.  en_US sorts using 
"dictionary order", which means aAbB...zZ, accented characters appear at 
their correct place, whitespace is ignored.  The latter in principle applies 
to all other language-specific locales as well, except that the particular 
relative order of the letters may be different.
