Hi, Jose
Suppose '_' stands for a space character. The one column table,xxx, contains
following data.
column name is suburb and is set as primary key.
'THE_AAA'
'THE_BBB'
'THE_CDD'
'THECCC'
After I do
"SELECT * FROM xxx ORDER BY suburb;"
I've got this.
'THE_AAA'
'THE_BBB'
'THECCC'
'THE_CDD'
But I expect it should be like ...
'THE_AAA'
'THE_BBB'
'THE_CDD'
'THECCC'
Because, according to ascii code, space character should be smaller than 'C'
