You seem not to have absorbed what I said. This *is* the correct result
according to that locale's definition of sorting. You can demonstrate
that without any use of Postgres:
[tgl(at)rh2 ~]$ cat fooey
Somethang
-SOMETHING ELSE-
Something else
[tgl(at)rh2 ~]$ LANG=C sort fooey
-SOMETHING ELSE-
Somethang
Something else
[tgl(at)rh2 ~]$ LANG=en_US sort fooey
Somethang
Something else
-SOMETHING ELSE-
[tgl(at)rh2 ~]$
If you prefer C sort ordering, run Postgres in C locale. It's as
simple as that.
