Yeah, this has been complained of before, eg here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-11/msg00047.php
and here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-04/msg00564.php

It seems to be a deficiency in Apple's locale support.  The second
message is interesting since it indicates that "smart" sorting is
available somewhere/somehow under OS X, but nobody here knows how
to get at it :-(
