Hello,

With ESQL/C on a PostgreSQL 13.1 server I see the result of this query:

select katkey,normform from swd_anzeige where normform >= 'A' ORDER BY ASC;

coming out in this order:

query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: A
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: ゲアハルト・A・リッター
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: ゲルハルト・A・リッター
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: チャールズ・A・ビアード
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: A010STRUKTUR
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: A010STRUKTUR
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: A010STRUKTUR
query: fetch swd_anzeige_seq
RESULT: A0150SUPRALEITER

I loaded the same table in my server, but can't get the same order with
psql:

katkey | normform
--------+---------------------------------------------------------
233871 | A
...
92938 | ゲアハルト・A・リッター
92938 | ゲルハルト・A・リッター
92938 | リッター0ゲルハルト・A

i.e. the Japanese rows are sorted at the end after all others. Why?

Thanks

matthias
