Sound like you have the LC_COLLATE environment variable set. cron uses
the standard collation order e.g. LC_COLLATE=C. This sorts in strict
ASCII order. With internationalization the collation order gets more
complicated. If LC_COLLATE is set to en_US, the upper and lowercase
alphabetic characters get sorted as 'a A b B ...' instead of 'A B .. a
b ..'.
