That looks like it should work. Given that you describe the columns as
"names" I'm supposing they are of textual datatypes. Maybe you have a
messed-up encoding or locale situation that is causing the sorts to not
work properly? What PG version is this exactly, on what platform, and
what do "show lc_collate" and "show server_encoding" say?
