From Help:

1)
An application sends a CB_SETLOCALE message to set the current locale
of the combo box. If the combo box has the CBS_SORT style and strings
are added using CB_ADDSTRING, the locale of a combo box affects how
list items are sorted. 

2)
The CompareString function compares two character strings, using the
locale specified by the given identifier as the basis for the
comparison. 

3)
The lstrcmp function compares two character strings. The comparison is
case sensitive. 
The language (locale) selected by the user at setup time, or via the
control panel, determines which string is greater (or whether the
strings are the same). If no language (locale) is selected, Windows
performs the comparison by using default values. In the Windows United
States language functions, uppercase characters have lower values than
lowercase characters.
