Re: Sorting Upper-Case first. Microsoft bug?

The output you are getting is *correct* (i.e. what is
defined in the spec)

The output shown was:

Location="WA4136" />
   <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="8"
Location="wA4136" />
   <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="10"
Location="WA4138" />

The spec makes it clear that either
 W comes before w 
or
 w comes before W
(depending on case-order)

Given that, how can it possibly be correct (for any value of case-order)
that a sorted list has a w between two W's ???

*There are integers in the
Location attribute values which make you feel sorted
output is wrong*.

In a lexicographic ordering you look at the first character before
considering the later ones, the digits should have no effect at all if
the first characters are different.
