Hi. This is the way MySQL sorts the rows. Of course you can perform sorting using the BINARY operator which performs a case sensitive sorting but i m not sure that this will solve your problem.

Is there some changes I can do in the mysql database to fix this?

I would suggest to try first the trick with the BINARY operator. Open the file components/com_k2/itemlist.php and change line 210 from:
$query .= " ORDER BY ".$orderby;
to:
$query .= " ORDER BY BINARY ".$orderby;

Please let me know if this worked.

Sorry for the mistake. The file is components/com_k2/models/itemlist.php. If that doesn't work then it's a MySQL issue. Obviously sorting works the same for com_content and other extensions.

You should get the exact same sorting in Joomla! with K2. If not then we have to do some more research...

Did you sort this out? I had the same problem with Sobi2 and managed to fix it via the database ordering.
