Hello,

I have the same problem (the character is not recognized - we also use
french) and it seems that the only way around this "bug" is to install
Postgres with a local package... but many told me that is was slower and
not very useful... I did not try it.

Instead, we plan to create a second column with same french data but
without accents... The query will be based on that field  for the order
by needs... not great, but I will do exactly what we expect and no
add-ons.

Hope this helps!

Bonne journée!
