Sort order depends upon your locale settings (specifically LC_COLLATE), which
will have been set when you ran "initdb". Basically, sort orders for C ,
en_GB and fr will all be different. I'm guessing you expect "C" style
sorting.
Check the end of your postgresql.conf file to see what settings you currently
have.
See the manuals (Localization section) and list archives for plenty of
details.
