    +1. Nice idea!

> Strings stored via Phoenix can be composed from a subset of the entire set of 
> Unicode characters. The natural sort order for strings for different 
> languages often differs from the order dictated by the binary representation 
> of the characters of these strings. Java provides the idea of a Collator 
> which given an input string and a (language) locale can generate a Collation 
> Key which can then be used to compare strings in that natural order.
> Salesforce has recently open-sourced grammaticus. IBM has open-sourced ICU4J 
> some time ago. These technologies can be combined to provide a robust new 
> Phoenix function that can be used in an ORDER BY clause to sort strings 
> according to the user's locale.
