create a functional index on lower case value of your column. ORDER BY lower case value of your column.
in oracle 10g, you can issue:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP = ansi; ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT = binary_ci;
do you think this is an elegant solution for case insensitive sorting & searching? is there interest in seeing this in postgres?
