Hi there,

Im having a problem in sorting multibyte characters.

I am using EUC-JP for my database encoding becuase we need to support
japanese (hiragana, katakana, kanji) text, since our clients are japanese.

I have a table named "user_info" with the following fields:

first_name character(60) NOT NULL
last_name character(60) NOT NULL

We've forced doublebyte character our entries so that all data stored in
the table are doublebyte. The problem is, the sorting procedure. when
you user ORDER BY last_name ASC, the list is not sorted properly. Please
help me fix this problem. Thank you in advanced.
