Thread: problem with nasty latin2 sorting
Hello, I've got a problem with sorting polish words in postgresql 7.4.2 For example, I've got couple of polish cities in my table 'x', results of sorting are: (select city from x order by city asc) Bydgoszcz Gdańsk Iława Łódź Żarnów Malbork Warszawa So "Żarnów" is placed in wrong place, because it should be found after letter "Z" ?? What's wrong? Is there any patch to fix this? Does anybody had similar problem? I belive that postgres was compiled with "--enable-locale", and the right locale is set. Anna Domachowska

What does \l show in psql? what do you get on your machine if you save that same list in a file and run "sort" on it on the commandline set (with LC_COLLATE set to the same value as above)? -- greg

How sure are you of that? This sure sounds like a wrong-locale problem to me. Try "show lc_collate" and "show server_encoding". regards, tom lane
