Hi:

The problem with this entire concept is that while one may have different
names from different languages in one data set, it is not possible in the
nature of the case to use two or more different sorting orders in one
sorted list!

I am in favor of SS treating so-called "accented characters" as though they
were the unaccented English characters, and using the English sort order.
At some time in the future, perhaps, the user might be given the option to
select (or define) a different sort order.

Darrell
