I have found that the sort order is different on Windows and Linux (same version of Postgres). On Windows, it sorts in what appears to be normal ASCIIorder. On Linux, lowercase comes before uppercase, and all non-alphanumerics appear to come before all alphanumerics. I really need it to sort on Linux the same as it does on Windows. The docs seem to imply that I can simplyset the LANG environment variable to C to get an ASCII sort order, but that seem to make a difference. How do I change the sort order?
Thanks in advance.

You need to have the database initdb'd with the appropriate collation set
in LC_COLLATE. Changing LANG/LC_COLLATE after the fact won't help (in
recent versions anyway).

TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Do I simply "export LC_COLLATE=C" before I initdb, or do I pass it as a
parameter? On Wed, 17 Sep 2003, Robert Wille wrote:
