Thread: Order by and leading spaces

Hi,

I've noticed that the 7.3.3 has a strange behaviour were sorting rows with =
leading spaces. It seems that leadings spaces are ignored.

Anyone has noticed that ? Is there a workaround ?

Are you in "C" locale or some other locale and on what OS?  Some (many?)
OS locale definitions have collation rules that ignore spaces and/or
symbols.  For example, on my redhat box in en_US locale, " b" > "a".
