I'll overwrite the hu_HU collocation file with the en_EN one. It is
NOT
a sollution, it just corrects the problem. Do you guys find it OK,
to
have such an effect? Should we say:

All Hungarian -and other non standard ANSI- users should expect
"order by problems" due the locale settings.?

I suggest to have -at least- a patch for such problem, or a special
postmaster switch, where an alternate collocation file could be
specified. I must work with DB2, and there is a lot of anoing side
effects
with the country selections. f.e.: No codepage translation between
Hungarian and German settings, locale-ized client full with bugs,
etc...
It would be great, not to have these things in Postgresql.

At the end, I want to thank you all for your help. I must say,
Postgresql is still my favourite DBM.

Bye,
