C sorts by byte value, which ends up being AB...Zab...z. en_US sorts using
"dictionary order", which means aAbB...zZ, accented characters appear at
their correct place, whitespace is ignored. The latter in principle applies
to all other language-specific locales as well, except that the particular
relative order of the letters may be different.
