So this is more than strange

bnl(at)ibm2:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/psql
Timing is on.
AUTOCOMMIT off
psql (9.4.15)
Type "help" for help.

This. works. I did not realize I ran different client/server versions.
9.6 must have come with a Debian upgrade where I did not migrate the database to 9.6,
but got the psql 9.6 as default (/sr/bin/psql)

However AFTER I checked the bad sorting - sep/oct 2016 and early apr 2017
With psql 9.4 I connected with psql 9.6 again.
And now the sorting error is gone her too!

I cannot reproduce it anymore

So I learned this - always use same version of client and server

Many thanks to Adrian and Tom
