I have two instances of SQL Server 2005 running on two different servers on the same network. One of the instances’ sort order is the default sort of SQL Server. The second one is running Latin 1 General Binary sort. I would like to move two of the databases from the first instance to the second one. Can I use the Copy Database Wizard or detach/attach to move it then change the sort order of the moved databases?

Yes you can move the database any way you want to then change the sort order.

To change it at the database level you would use the alter database command.
I'm not sure if that is your collation or not but that is the command.

Code:
ALTER DATABASE db_name COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_BINI'm not sure if that is your collation or not but that is the command.
