Not natively, but DBD::SQLite does (using perl's sort command) and this was 
implemented several weeks ago.  Every SQL command that requires sorting has a 
"COLLATE perllocale" following the ORDER BY part of the statement.  This uses 
the system UTF-8 locale to do sorting (or whatever other current locale is 
selected).  This may result in differences on some OS's, for example OSX which 
does not have a correct UTF-8 LC_COLLATE file.  I am unsure how this works on 
Windows.  Linux works fine however, which is what we are most concerned with at 
the moment.
