sort “alphabetic, ignore case” results in a list where capital letters and non-capital letters are mixed:

B,c,d,D,d,d,D,b,A,a

results in:

A,a,B,c,D,d,d.D,d,d

What is happening?

When you specify ignore case, upper case and lower case letters are treated the same, so “A” and “a” are treated as equal.
