UTF-8 & Sorting support for diacritic characters
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-1131
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1131
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DSpace API
    Affects Versions: 1.8.1, 1.7.2, 1.6.2, 1.5.2
         Environment: All environments
            Reporter: Jouni Nevalainen
            Priority: Major


Dspace decomposes all diacritic characters (f.e. ä, ö å etc....) before writing 
them to the database tables (Diacritic is stored after the base character). 
This behaviour leads to weird sorting in countries where diacritic characters 
are used. f.e. the letter "Ö" is treated like "O" in sorting.

Dspace should offer LocaleOrderingFilter, that will normalise a string so that 
the resulting 
value can be sorted in a way that is correct for a specified Locale. 
This filter should be an alternative option, which could be activated from 
dspace.cfg.
