I gathered from the admin of the remote (customer) server the output of sort(1) in dependency of LANG and LC_ALL (see below). Only when I let her unset the UTF-8 env vars, the result is with the Japanese lines at the end, with UTF-8 env they're sorted at the beginning. On my own server (the only difference is that my server is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3, while the customer still runs SP2) I never get the Japanese lines on top with the same commands as used by the remote admin. I requested now in addition the output of ls -l /lib64/libc.* /usr/lib/locale/de_DE.utf8 to see if the libc version is different, mine is libc-2.31.so Said that, does the SORT done by the server depends on the environment (LANG, LC_*) in which the PostgreSQL server is started or only of the sp_catalog information of the database in question?
