The COLLATE 'latin1_general_ci' is a much better solution. I'll update the post with your helpful tip. Thanks for bringing up the point about the accents.

Another solution to get an case-insensitive ORDER BY is: mysql_query("SELECT * FROM names ORDER BY name COLLATE 'latin1_general_ci'); See: <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/case-sensitivity.html" rel="nofollow">MySQL Reference - Case Sensitivity in String Searches</a> and <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset.html" rel="nofollow">MySQL Reference - Character Set Support</a> Generally that’s worth a try, but as far as I remember accents might be still a problem.

Another solution to get an case-insensitive ORDER BY is:

mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM names ORDER BY name COLLATE ‘latin1_general_ci’);
