--- Comment #26 from Alan <[email protected]> ---
To the best of my knowledge, the ICU only states that, in English, lowercase
letters are usually sorted before uppercase.

There is no US standard for alphabetical sorting that I am aware of.

The UnicodeĀ® Technical Standard #10 Unicode Collation Algorithm Version 18.0.0
does not specify which case comes first. It does encourage providing uppercase
first via parameterization: 

"9.6 Case Comparisons

In some languages, it is common to sort lowercase before uppercase; in other
languages this is reversed. Often this is more dependent on the individual
concerned, and is not standard across a single language. It is strongly
recommended that implementations provide parameterization that allows uppercase
to be sorted before lowercase, and provides information as to the standard (if
any) for particular countries. For more information, see Case Parameters in
[UTS35Collation]."

All that said, as long as the description matches the result, that works...
