What locale did you initdb with? Some locales on some systems have
behavior like that. To test, you could try the unix sort command
on data like:
201901 Z
201901-D
201901 D
in the same locale and see what order you get (specifically where
does that first line go - on my machine it goes to the end unless
I explicitly choose a locale like "C")
