Hi all,
Doing some googling and looking through the docs, I can't find an
obvious way to do this beside post processing after the query (which I
am trying to avoid).
I'm trying to select a list of names in alphabetical order but
ignoring the whitespace.
So for example, the name "La Combe" should come after "Lace" but
before "Lacs..."
Any ideas?
Mikel
