Properties are pre-sorted at indexing time.  The function that does
this is called Compare_Properties() in docprop.c.  For string
properties flagged as "case:compare" it uses the library function
strncmp(), which does not take LC_COLLATE into consideration.  For
strings marked as "case:ignore" it uses strncasecmp() which does check
LC_COLLATE.

If your property is flagged as case:ignore then check your locale
(LC_COLLATE) setting.

There's a strcoll() function to replace strcmp(), but the code would
need to be rewritten since the strings are not null terminated.

You can check your property's case setting by running

   swish-e -f myindex -T index_metanames

Use PropertyNamesIgnoreCase to set properties to ignore case.
