Hi,
Thank you for this article. I used the variant with LOWER(`name`) and works very fine .

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

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'); See: MySQL Reference - Case Sensitivity in String Searches and MySQL Reference - Character Set Support
