Keep in mind that the above will force the database to perform a
sequential scan of the table even if the column you're ordering by is
indexed. Which means that if you have performance issues you may need to
create a case-insensitive index on the column. I'll leave that as an
exercise for you on how to set that up in whatever database you are
using.
