The output shown was:

>> Location="WA4136" />
>>    <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="8"
>> Location="wA4136" />
>>    <row ReturnValue="0" Store_ID="10"
>> Location="WA4138" />

The spec makes it clear that either
 W comes before w 
or
 w comes before W
(depending on case-order)

Given that, how can it possibly be correct (for any value of case-order)
that a sorted list has a w between two W's ???

In a lexicographic ordering you look at the first character before
considering the later ones, the digits should have no effect at all if
the first characters are different.
