OS Debian 3.1

Show lc_collate:

"pt_BR.ISO-8859-1"

It returns:
    GABRIELA HELEDA DE SOUZA
      GABRIELA JACOBY NOS
      GABRIEL ALCIDES KLIM PERONDI
      GABRIELA LETICIA BATISTA NUNES
      GABRIEL ALEXANDRE DA SILVA MANICA

The correct would be:

    GABRIEL ALCIDES KLIM PERONDI
    GABRIEL ALEXANDRE DA SILVA MANICA
    GABRIELA HELEDA DE SOUZA
    GABRIELA JACOBY NOS
    GABRIELA LETICIA BATISTA NUNES

As I told you, with OS Windows, it works correctly...

That is absolutely wild.  This will indeed return a space-sensitive sort
under pt_BR, but not under, say, de_DE.  So there is order in this
world! (heh)

This is on Debian, so the original poster has some configuration or
version difference.  Please tell OS version, and the output of "SHOW
lc_collate".
