That's correct behavior for what you gave it. Example from http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.3/whatsnew/node12.html :
>>sorted('Monty Python') # any iterable may be an input
[' ', 'M', 'P', 'h', 'n', 'n', 'o', 'o', 't', 't', 'y', 'y']
It looks like it's sorting based on ASCII value which means all upper
case letters come before any lower case letter.

Ideally, you need to read some introductory material and stop
offloading whatever the hell it is you're doing to this group.

x.sort(key=str.upper)
Or another option to consider:
>>import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_COLLATE, 'en')
'English_United States.1252'
>>print ', '.join(sorted(['CHAPTER', 'eu', 'Emma', 'I', 'I', 'VOLUME',
'Woodhouse', 'clever', 'handsome', '\xe9t\xe9'], key=locale.strxfrm))
CHAPTER, clever, Emma, été, eu, handsome, I, I, VOLUME, Woodhouse
Annoyingly strxfrm in Python 2.5 can't cope with unicode so if you go this
way you need to make sure that the strings are all encoded with the correct
encoding (which in this example is the 1252 at the end of the string
returned from setlocale) or define a new key function which applies the
correct encoding.
