Wow, this spawned quite a thread, eh?  This very thing is/has been 
discussed at length on the Red Hat lists (redhat, valhalla, enigma).

IN /etc/sysconfig/i18n  you can set the variable "LC_COLLATE=C", which 
will change the behaviour system wide.  Otherwise you could set this for 
each individual user in /home/$USER/.i18n  .

I haven't changed mine, opting to go along with the "standard".


[kgmorse at lynx kgmorse]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso01"


See "man bash" for more gory details
