Re: [HELP] Strange sort order. Why?

Hi,

this is expected order. The difference between a and accented a is by default a 
secondary difference - meaning it is examined only if the strings are equivalent 
on the primary level.  Since there is a primary difference between 'u' and 'n' 
it takes precedence and thus establishes the sort order.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
v.
