Hi,

when i do the following query i get an wrong result order on my postgres
system (PostgreSQL 7.2.4 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2.2)

tb_test=# SELECT name, upper(name) FROM tb_wurst ORDER BY upper(name);
name | upper
----------------------------------+----------------------------------
Americabound Tours, Inc. | AMERICABOUND TOURS, INC.
American Airlines | AMERICAN AIRLINES
American Express Tour Operador | AMERICAN EXPRESS TOUR OPERADOR
American Receptive Tours | AMERICAN RECEPTIVE TOURS
American Ring Travel, Inc. | AMERICAN RING TRAVEL, INC.
American Sightseeing Chicago | AMERICAN SIGHTSEEING CHICAGO
AMERICANTOURS INTERNATIONAL INC. | AMERICANTOURS INTERNATIONAL INC.
America West Airlines, Inc. | AMERICA WEST AIRLINES, INC.
(8 rows)

The last line should IMHO be the first; but line 7 is in the correct place
compared to lines 2-6.
Has anybody any hint for me to resolve the problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
