I'm having a problem with the sort of names with accents
In the version of postgres 8.4.3, I run the following command:

SELECT name FROM person ORDER BY name

And I have the following result:

                       name
-------------------------------------------------- -
 Abel Clara Valentin
 Abel Felipe Mundel
 Abel Lopes de Amorin
 Abel Rodriguez
 ...
 Eric Alves de Lima
 Erico Borinelli
 Eric Brizola
 Eric Correa
 Eric Eichenberger
 Erico Eichstadt
 ...
 Zulmira Fatima Ribeiro Albrecht
 Zulma Siewe
 Zulmira Dutra da Rocha
(26,445 rows)


The bank orders usually, he puts his name with an accent in the right order,
or
That is, he does not think the accent to order, from what I saw.

In the PG version 9.0.3
I run the same command and got the following result:

                       name
-------------------------------------------------- -
 Abel Clara Valentin
 Abel Felipe Mundel
 Abel Lopes de Amorin
 Abel Rodriguez
 ...
 Eric Alves de Lima
 Erico Borinelli
 Eric Correa
 Eric Eichenberger
 Erico Eichstadt
 Erico Eischstaedt
 ...
 Zulma Siewe
 Zulmira Fatima Ribeiro Albrecht
 Zulmira Dutra da Rocha
 <C3> <89> Rich Brizola
(26,445 rows)


The "<C3> <89> Brizola rich" equals "Eric Brizola" the outcome of PG 8.4.3.

If someone can help me I appreciate it.

Hug.
