GetThis
function

   Uppercase before lowercase.

PostgreSQL:

test=# CREATE TABLE test (name VARCHAR);
CREATE TABLE
test=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ('function');
INSERT 0 1
test=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ('GetThis');
INSERT 0 1
test=# SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY name ASC;
   name   
----------
 function
 GetThis
(2 rows)

   Lowercase before uppercase. So it seems different backends sort in
different order.

   About MultipleJoin: it doesn't use backend's ORDER BY, it sorts itself
in Python, hence the order "uppercase before lowercase". To use backend's
ORDER BY switch to SQLMultipleJoin. The difference is MultipleJoin draws
the rows as a list and sorts them, SQLMultipleJoin column constructs
a SelectResult instance that you can iterate over, and it runs the
corresponding SQL query.
