Sort order

464177Nov 1 2005 — edited Nov 3 2005
Your help is appreciated. Basically I would like to sort the character in alphabetical order regardless to the case. However, if the alphabet is the same, then I would like to sort by lower to upper case.

For example, I have the followings in my table:

aA
Aa
ab
aC
bC
Bz
C1
Cz

and I would like to sort this column in the following order, is there a way I can do this?

aA
ab
aC
Aa
bC
Bz
C1
Cz

Thanks
