In my database I have french character

When I do "select * from customer order by firstname"

I get result in this order
Eric
Ezeb
Isabelle
Ziggy
�ric
�ve

But would like to get
Eric
�ric
�ve
Ezeb
Isabelle
Ziggy

In other word, I would like � be considered like a E ... the same goes with
��� etc etc

Is there a way to do this?

Re: Postgres and special character

You should recompile with the correct locale, I guess.
