Try being a little less English-centric. Collating order varies by
language.
Posix says that ranges work the way you are used to if you force the
traditional ordering using the `C' or `Posix' locale. Take a deep
breath and use LC_ALL=C in your scripts to avoid depending on whatever
your OS uses as the default.
