I´m with the same problem at order by at version 8.0.3 and O.S. Debian.
I´ve tried with locale C, UTF8, encoding LATIN1, UNICODE and it did't work.

Pg-Hackers,

I'm having the following issue:

create table aluno (id serial, nome varchar(60));

rodrigo=# select * from aluno order by nome offset 35 limit 5;
id | nome
----+-----------------------------------
36 | GABRIELA HELEDA DE SOUZA
37 | GABRIELA JACOBY NOS
38 | GABRIEL ALCIDES KLIM PERONDI
39 | GABRIELA LETICIA BATISTA NUNES
40 | GABRIEL ALEXANDRE DA SILVA MANICA
(5 registros)

The problem is that records with id 38 and 40 might come before the others.
It seems that the spacing isn't considered on ordering.
The encoding (LATIN1) is correct according to Brazilian Portuguese, and the
settings are listed below.
