Sorting is down to your locale (the LC_xxx configuration settings). This is set when you initdb your database. It looks to me like you want "C" sorting, so dump your database, re-initdb with --locale=C and restore the dump.
There's a whole chapter on localisation in the manuals. Make sure you are clear on the difference between encoding and locale.
