Hi,

It's been a while since I've posted but I figure somebody in this
group may be able to help me with this...

I'm searching a database with ultrasphinx and want to return the
results in alphabetical order, ignoring case.  However, with the
following command, headlines that begin with capital letters always
come ahead of those that don't.  e.g.  "Zebra" comes before "apple".

@search=Ultrasphinx::Search.new(:query => @query_string, :filters =>
filters, :sort_by => 'headline', :sort_mode=>'descending')

Does anyone know how I can get ultrasphinx to IGNORE the case of the
first letter of the headline when sorting the results?  I've thought
of adding another column to my table, headline_downcase where the
headline is downcased, and doing a sort on that, but that just eats up
memory.  There's got to be a better way!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Cheri
