Online Lower Case Converter

When ordering data in sql developer, why does the data with allow lowercase letters appear last?

for example

Adam, Ben, Charlotte, Matthew, emily

Why isn't it: Adam, Ben, Charlotte, emily, Matthew?

I don't necessarily want the answer to just changing it but why does it happen? Is there a setting that is ticked to make it happen or does it do it by default unless you write a statement for it not to do it?

I have a list that has 12 elements. I am getting an input and matching that input with the value of another variable. Now that means that case-sensitivity will be a problem. I know how to go through the list with a loop but how can I convert every character in each element to a lowercase character?

for i in sa:      # something here to convert element in sa to lowercase

Is there a way to convert a string from uppercase, or even part uppercase to lowercase?

E.g. Kilometers --> kilometers.

Can't figure out whats the problem,i wanted to make a program that takes a line of strings and return the words along with their type as decribed in the "In" function.

This is the code

def __init__(self):    self.Action = "Action"    self.Noun = "Noun"    self.Shit = "Shit"    self.Error = "Error"    ACTION = ["Go","Kill","Jump"]    NOUN = ["Lion","Building","World"]    SHIT = ["shit","shit5"]def Hard_worker(word):    Action = "Action"    Noun = "Noun"    Shit = "Shit"    Error = "Error"    raw_data = word.lower()    if raw_data in Action:        return(Action,word)    elif raw_data in Noun:        return(Noun,word)    elif raw_data in Shit:        return(Shit,word)    else:        return(Error,word)def scan(line):    print"Scanning the line %r" % line    words = line.split()    return map(Hard_worker(words))scan("Go Kill Jump")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help i have been stuck for a good part of an afternoon already and cant really find/understand answers from other resources. I need to receive a password input from the user and need to test whether or not the password contains:

• Two Upper case letters
• Three Lower case letters
• One number

here is my code:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;public class PracticePassword {    public static void main(String[] args) {        String originalPw;        // TODO Auto-generated method stub        String newPw;        int pwLength;        int i;        char c;        newPw = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a password" +         " that contains the following:" + "\n"        + "**TWO upper case letters" + "\n" + "**THREE lower case letters" + "\n"        + "**ONE number");        originalPw = newPw;        pwLength = newPw.length();        for (i = 0; i <= pwLength; i++) {            boolean hasUpperCase = !originalPw.equals(originalPw.toUpperCase());            boolean hasLowerCase = !originalPw.equals(originalPw.toUpperCase());            if(!hasUpperCase){                System.out.println("You have three upper case letters, good job.");            }            else {                System.out.println("You must have three upper case letters");            }        }    }   }

If it looks like i have no clue what i am doing towards the end its because i dont. Please help. thank you:)

thanks for your replies everyone. i shouldve been more specific. I guess what i shoudlve asked if there are any methods out there or structures i can implement in my code to make sure the user input meets those specifications. I see now that my code is very incomplete. i am going over notes now to improve my code.
