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. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
