I'm using version 7.3 of postgres and when I issue the following command
select author, sort_author from itemsbyauthor where sort_author like 'tan%'; I get the following results: Author sort_author Tan, Weihong | tan, weihong Tang, S. C. | tang, s. c. Tan, Fang | tan, fang Note how the tan's are not grouped together when I think they should be. Is this something that is fixed in a more current version of postgres? Thank you!
