CaseInsensitiveComparer weirdness

Shouldn't the CaseInsensitiveComparer sort case-insensitively?

The following code prints out 'AZaz', which indicates a case-sensitive sort.
What do I need to do to perform a case-insensitive sort ('AaZz')?

char[] chars = new char[] { 'A', 'z', 'a', 'Z' };
string sorted = "";

Array.Sort(chars, new System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveComparer());

for (int i = 0; i < chars.Length; i++)
{
sorted += chars;
}

Console.WriteLine(sorted);

It should, and it does - for strings. It doesn't compare characters. If
you change your sample to use strings instead of chars, it works fine.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up!
