en_US.utf8 -> sort in alphabetical order C -> sort in ASCII-betical order In ASCII, all of the capital letters precede all of the lowercase letters. In US English, there is not a sorting distinction between a capital and its matching lowercase, so they are considered equivalent. Said another way, in ASCII 'A' != 'a', but en_US.utf8 'A' == 'a' (and probably in every locale that uses Latin-1 as a base). Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
