Well, right now it's generally determined by your OS's definition of the
locale you've chosen. You might be able to pick another locale which has
different behavior if your system supports one or gives you a reasonable
way to create one, or as the last ditch attempt, locale "C" for bytewise
ordering. However, I think you'll need to recreate the database if you
change the locale.
