Not that I know of.
I'm assuming you're worried about this because you want to pre-sort
some data on a PC, then transfer it to the device. In general that
approach doesn't work, not only because of subtle differences between
the sort orders, but also because the device sort order can change
(typically only slightly) between releases of the OS.
