Question : Sort by characters
How do i force a ascending sort by characters?
I use SELECT TITLE FROM table ORDER BY title ASC, but got some selections with result like
Åword_1
Åword_2
Äword_2
Aword_1
Bword_1
Dword_1
...
As u see there are country specific characters that sorts before the normal ASCII characters. How do I solve this? MS SQL Server. Another list has the same ascending but another select statement (for another countrys specific characters)
Åword_1
Æword_2
Æword_3
Aword_1
Bword_1
Dword_1
...
Of course the sort by needs to show the ABCDEFGH... sorting! (no numbers in this case).
This is very important.
Many thank's in advanced,
