wrong sort order
Hi, maybe there is a problem with sorting latin10? Seems to be like
spaces don't exists just sorting.

but if you try:
SELECT nombreasociado, codigoasociado
FROM Asociados
WHERE nombreasociado LIKE 'VILLA %'
ORDER BY 1;
"VILLA CLAUDIA MARIA";2208
"VILLA CLOTILDE";2902
"VILLA HORACIO E ";2106

The guys who write the locale specifications think that's a feature,
not a bug ;-)
If you don't want it, either use C locale or create your own locale
definition. (I have no idea how easy or hard the latter is.)

Maybe I'm wrong, but this "feature" I don't see it in any other rdbms ;-)

It's not the encoding, it's the locale. For example, the en_US sorts in
dictionary order (ignore spaces and case).
Hope this helps,

Martjin, this little example show your answer:
$ LANG=es_AR
$ export LANG
$ touch 'villa'
$ touch 'villa f'
$ touch 'villaa'
$ touch 'villat'
$ ls | sort
villa
villaa
villa f
villat
May be this is an off topic, but the question now is how to change or
find a locale that include spaces in sort order.
Thanks!!!, Alejandro.

You can hack the locale definitions from the GNU C library. Start by
getting the source and reading it -- it's far from a trivial task.
Or you can use the C locale. But you'll find "strange" behavior with �
and accented vowels.
