Hello everyone.
We have a simple problem...that we have keys that include blanks and various other commonly used characters like ",", ";" and "-". For some reason, the select we have, nothing complicated, ignores these "special" characters and happily sorts by the A-z range. How do we sort by the, say ascii 32-125 range?
This must be a known issue; perhaps we need to configure a parameter.

Sorting behavior depends on database locale. You can override it and make Postgres sort output data binary with "ORDER BY xxx USING ~<~"
It's default when database is initialized with "C" locale.
