Re: Is it possible to sort strings in EBCDIC order in PostgreSQL server?

en_US.utf8. is still 0-9A-Za-z and in my example set (as it's my default too :))

You'd need a case insensitive collation to do what you described, and I'm not sure those exist in postgres. (I guess you could always build your own if you _really_ wanted to.

The default C locale on Linux (I don't know Windows) will sort "digits", then alphabetic with the lower then upper case of each letter in order like: "aAbB...zZ"

That's no true at all! The C locales are 0-9A-Za-z

​Thanks for the correction. Turns out that I forgot that my default locale on Linux was en_US.utf8.​

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
