Sorting - case

[A. Vine]

All,

There is a debate on the Unicode list about what is normal (expected) sort order
in English - lowercase then uppercase, or uppercase then lowercase?  For
example, is it August, then august?  Or polish, then Polish?

Cites differ from Oxford press, Websters, and Merriam Webster.  Please leave the
word chronology and parts of speech out - consider only the word as written.

Thanks for any info,
Andrea
