Issue on Varchar Ordering

Pg-Hackers,<br /><br />I'm having the following issue:<br /><br />create table aluno (id serial, nome varchar(60));<br
/><br/>rodrigo=# select * from aluno order by nome offset 35 limit 5;<br /> id |               nome<br
/>----+-----------------------------------<br /> 36 | GABRIELA HELEDA DE SOUZA<br /> 37 | GABRIELA JACOBY NOS<br /> 38
|GABRIEL ALCIDES KLIM PERONDI<br /> 39 | GABRIELA LETICIA BATISTA NUNES<br /> 40 | GABRIEL ALEXANDRE DA SILVA MANICA<br
/>(5registros)<br /><br />The problem is that records with id 38 and 40 might come before the others. It seems that the
spacingisn't considered on ordering. <br />The encoding (LATIN1) is correct according to Brazilian Portuguese, and the
settingsare listed below.<br /><br />rodrigo=# select name, setting from pg_settings where name ~
'encoding|^lc_|version';<br/>      name       | setting <br />-----------------+---------<br /> client_encoding |
LATIN1<br/> lc_collate      | pt_BR<br /> lc_ctype        | pt_BR<br /> lc_messages     | pt_BR<br /> lc_monetary     |
pt_BR<br/> lc_numeric      | pt_BR<br /> lc_time         | pt_BR <br /> server_encoding | LATIN1<br /> server_version 
|8.1.3<br />(9 registros)<br clear="all" /><br />The server is a Debian 3.1 GNU/Linux with locales pt_BR.<br /><br
/>Whatcould be wrong? Thanks in advance.<br /><br />-- <br />Regards,<br /><br />Rodrigo Hjort<br />GTI - Projeto
