I have to correct me: Hopefully you are not on Mac OS X. On Mac OS X,
locale support is not yet available for UTF-8, so you will not get
correct ordering. This is from a statement of an Apple engineer --
they have this on the to do list.
As the locale support in Mac OS X comes directly from BSD I assume,
it's not better there but I have tested this only on one BSD
plattform and looked through the provided locale files (in the given
cvs directories) for others where it seems similar.
This is not a problem of PostgreSQL, only a problem for PostgreSQL
when running on the "wrong" plattform.
