If you want to know WAY too much about how unicode characters are
ordered, you can take a gander at this:

http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr10/tr10-16.html

The summary: Outside of the characters A-Z, you cannot guarantee that
a particular locality will have a different way of ordering characters
than yours.  The only reason A-Z are fixed is because of convention.

Actually, A-Z aren't always fixed. Set your locale (primary language) to Hawaiian, and log back in (which is the polite way to get the Finder to relaunch) and observe the sort order in Finder windows...

I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but can I control which locale is used for sorting in the sort dialog in BBEdit?
