Hi!NLS stands for "Native Language Support" and it's used for display error/information messages in different languages.
For sorting data you need to look at LC_COLLATE (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/locale.html )
You also need to check that you operation system support collation for your charset/encoding as PostgreSQL relies on the underling operation- systems collation support. FreeBSD for example does not support UTF-8 collation. On FreeBSD you need the supplied ICU (http://www.icu-project.org/ ) patch supplied by portage to get working UTF-8 collation.
