============================
functx:sort-case-insensitive
============================ 

Sorts a sequence of values or nodes regardless of capitalization

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The functx:sort-case-insensitive function sorts a sequence of values or nodes 
without regard to whether they are upper or lower-case. Normally, using most 
collations, all upper-case letters are sorted before all lower-case letters, so 
"Z" would come before "a". It returns the items in their original 
capitalization.
