Thank you, yes it does. I got it to work with Greek iota which is about the least obtrusive. Strangely (to my mind) some less obtrusive characters with higher unicode *dont* work. Its a bit of a mystery whats going on, i can only surmise that there is somewhere a table of 'blacklisted' characters which are not taken into account for sorting purposes. This new (ish) sort order lark has been a right pain in the proverbials for me, generally speaking. I'll now just scour the table in the hope of finding something even better but at least there is *something* that'll work

These are not punctuation marks, but a bit of experimentation suggests that any Greek character, upper or lower case, will serve. I trust this helps.
