And I would find it extremly frustrating if Åstrand was sorted between Alvaro and Beatriz instead of after Zebra where it belongs. This is kind of the point. There is no generally correct way to sort alphabetically, which is why we should force anyone wanting to do so to make an active choice about which rules should be used. I think a default that's obviously wrong is better than a default that's subtly wrong in this case. -- Anders Åstrand Percona
