actually the nex texexec implementation does czech sorting but it's not enables
yet in context itself (was experimental until now)
- download the latest version (i uploaded a version that enables it)
- don't forget \mainlanguage[cz] at the top of your document
- in sort-lan.tex you can see how czech sorting is defined
(context adds a lot of into to the tui file in order to get sorting done)
