 I recently ran into an issue with `get_the_category()` returning the array
 of categories ordered by Name (which is does by default). However, this
 will return different results than `wp_get_object_terms()`, because
 `wp_get_object_terms()` used an SQL ORDER BY which (correct me if I am
 wrong) will do a case insensitive string compare, whereas using `strcmp()`
 is case sensitive, so any categories starting in a lowercase letter will
 be but _after_ all capitalized names.

 Eg:

 {{{
 $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $id );
 // array( 'Apple, 'iPod', Microsoft' )

 $cats = get_the_category( $id );
 // array( 'Apple', 'Microsoft', 'iPod' )
 }}}

 Which seems counterintuitive. Should this be fixed?
