PostgreSQL version: 13.1
Operating system: Linux (OpenSuse TumbleWeed)
Description:
I also tried my data in http://sqlfiddle.com/#!17/55afc5/3 with version 9.6
of postgres and the issue seems to be there too.
Here is my example:
create table players ( name varchar(64), url varchar(256), primary key
(name));
insert into players values('Theo Akwuba', 'a');
insert into players values('Theo Bouteille', 'b');
insert into players values('Theodor Dlugos', 'c');
insert into players values('Theodor Kirov', 'd');
insert into players values('Theodoros Tsiloulis', 'e');
insert into players values('Theodoros Zaras', 'f');
insert into players values('Theo John', 'g');
insert into players values('Theo Leon', 'h');
insert into players values('Theo Magrit', 'i');
insert into players values('Theo Maledon', 'j');
insert into players values('Theo Pinson', 'k');
insert into players values('Theo Rey', 'l');
SELECT name from players ORDER BY name ;
I would expect as result the following:
Theo Akwuba
Theo Bouteille
Theo John
Theo Leon
Theo Magrit
Theo Maledon
Theo Pinson
Theo Rey
Theodor Dlugos
Theodor Kirov
Theodoros Tsiloulis
Theodoros Zaras
BUT what I got is this:
Theo Akwuba
Theo Bouteille
Theodor Dlugos
Theodor Kirov
Theodoros Tsiloulis
Theodoros Zaras
Theo John
Theo Leon
Theo Magrit
Theo Maledon
Theo Pinson
Theo Rey
I don't know if there is anything specific to do for having a proper ordered
output, but the result seems wrong to me. I also tried the same query in
sqlite and had no issues, as well as with libreoffice sorting and all was as
expected.
