unexpected (to me) sorting order

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!
below are some commands to
replicate a strange sorting order.

I do not see why id:s 3-6 are in the middle of the result set.
What am I missing?

begin;

create table T_SORT (
  ID bigint default 1 not null , -- Primary Key
  NAME varchar(100) default ' ' not null
);
alter table T_SORT add constraint T_SORTP1 primary key (
  ID
);


insert into T_SORT values ( 1,'FINISH_110_150_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 2,'FINISH_110_200_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 3,'FINISH_1.10_20.0_3');
insert into T_SORT values ( 4,'FINISH_1.10_20.0_4');
insert into T_SORT values ( 5,'FINISH_1.10_30.0_3');
insert into T_SORT values ( 6,'FINISH_1.10_30.0_4');
insert into T_SORT values ( 7,'FINISH_120_150_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 8,'FINISH_120_200_1');

select * from T_SORT order by NAME ;

rollback;
 id |        name
----+--------------------
  1 | FINISH_110_150_1
  2 | FINISH_110_200_1
  3 | FINISH_1.10_20.0_3
  4 | FINISH_1.10_20.0_4
  5 | FINISH_1.10_30.0_3
  6 | FINISH_1.10_30.0_4
  7 | FINISH_120_150_1
  8 | FINISH_120_200_1
(8 rows)

why is FINISH_1.10_20.0_3 between
 FINISH_110_200_1 and 
 FINISH_120_150_1
?

That is why is '.' between 1 and 2 as in 110/120 ?
 
 
pg_admin III reports the database is created like
CREATE DATABASE bnl
  WITH OWNER = bnl
       ENCODING = 'UTF8'
       TABLESPACE = pg_default
       LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
       LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
       CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;


bnl=> select version();
                                                   version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

psql says

It is an Amazon RDS-service
