I think most (all?) languages order accented characters with their non-
accented counterparts. This applies to accents, which aren't part of that
language, as well. The collator_asort function does it that way. That's what
you're seeing.

I wouldn't expect this to hold true for the "C" locale as well, but it seems
like it is a synonym for "en_EN", here.

The real difference is between available and non-available intl extension.
