Guys; This errors out with:
 
ERROR:  could not determine which collation to use for string comparison
HINT:  Use the COLLATE clause to set the collation explicitly.

 
 
The database is init'ed with:
initdb -D $PGDATA -E utf8 --locale=nb_NO.UTF-8
 
13-dev HEAD as of 8128b0c152a67917535f50738ac26da4f984ddd9
 
Works fine in <= 12
 
===========================
create table person(   id serial primary key,   firstname varchar,   lastname varchar
);

insert into person(firstname, lastname) values ('Andreas', 'Krogh');

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION concat_lower(varchar, varchar) RETURNS varchar AS
$$
SELECT nullif(lower(coalesce($1, '')) || lower(coalesce($2, '')), '')
$$ LANGUAGE SQL
    IMMUTABLE;

select * from person pers ORDER BY concat_lower(pers.firstname, pers.lastname) ASC;
===========================
