https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/237
>My conclusion of this thought experiment is that there should be a way to
specify the collation order in the ORDER BY statement independent of the
language tags of the literals being sorted.
Good points. I believe we want to give users the option to specify the
collation and override the language tag then. I think we could, however, still
offer this as fall back, in case no collation is specified.
> Language-specific collation in ARQ

> Key: JENA-1313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1313
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ARQ
> Affects Versions: Jena 3.2.0
> Reporter: Osma Suominen
>
> As [discussed|http://markmail.org/message/v2bvsnsza5ksl2cv] on the users
> mailing list in October 2016, I would like to change ARQ collation of literal
> values to be language-aware and respect language-specific collation rules.
> This would probably involve changing at least the
> [NodeUtils.compareLiteralsBySyntax|https://github.com/apache/jena/blob/master/jena-arq/src/main/java/org/apache/jena/sparql/util/NodeUtils.java#L199]
> method.
> It currently sorts by lexical value first, then by language tag. Since the
> collation order needs to be stable across all possible literal values, I
> think the safest way would be to sort by language tag first, then by lexical
> value according to the collation rules for that language.
> But what about subtags like {{@en-US}} or {{@pt-BR}}? Can they have different
> collation rules than the main language? It would be a bit strange if all
> {{@en-US}} literals sorted after {{@en}} literals...
> It would be good to check how Dydra does this and possibly take the same
> approach. See the message linked above for further backgound.
> I've been talking with [~kinow] about this and he may be interested in
> implementing it.
