Change sort order for SQL 7 SP4

Is their a way to change the sort order. I have a backup
i need to restore, but it says the sort order is not
correct.
Thanks
RickRick,
With SQL 7, I think you'd have to re-install the server & specify the
appropriate sort-order during installation. I assume that you're restoring
to a different server than that from which the backup was taken, hence the
error message.
If you need to transfer a database to a server that you can't re-install,
with different language, sortorder, case sensitivity etc, I think you may
need to do the transfer using DTS or similar.

Actually you need to rebuild the master database (using rebuildm utility)
to change sort order in SQL Server 7.0. Doing this in effect will have a
newly built master database, so all your references to user databases,
logins etc will be lost.
