 It is culture dependent. What is your culture? Try Console.WriteLine
 (CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
 
 It won't be fixed until we finish ongoing collation task which won't
 be so soon.

+The culture is en-AU. If I compile the code with Visual C# and run 
+it, I get one collation order, if I compile with mcs and run with 
+Mono, I get the other collation order. The problem for me is that the 
+array definition is generated by a compiler, in sorted order. The 
+generated code is then compiled and executed on either .NET or Mono. 
+Another part of the code does a split search on the sorted array. Of 
+course, if the collation order at run time doesn't match the order in 
+which the array was sorted, the split search fails.
+
+This may be related to bug 61458, which dealt with a very similar 
+problem. Can you think of any workaround that would work for 
+both .NET and Mono? At the moment, I'm doing a linear search in order 
+to keep the generated code portable, but that's rather inefficient.
