New Comment:
How can you have a feature request with reproducable code? And this is
all already very possible:
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'es_ES');
$words = array( ABADIA, ALVAREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA, ÁLVARES );
sort( $words, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);
var_dump($words);
?>
outputs:
array(5) {
[0]=>
string(6) "ABADIA"
[1]=>
string(7) "ÁLVARES"
[2]=>
string(7) "ALVAREZ"
[3]=>
string(6) "BUÑUEL"
[4]=>
string(7) "ZUBIETA"
}

Description:
------------
There is a problem with array_multisort in languages other than
English.
For special chars, as A with accent (Á), the sorting does not
correspond to what might expect from a MySQL SELECT with ORDER BY.
For example the code attached to the message
will sort the array in this way: ABADIA, ALVAREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA,
ÁLVARES
while a MySQL SELECT with ORDER BY nombre ASC will yield
ABADIA, ÁLVARES, ALVEREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA
as A and Á are considered two different representations of the same
letter.
Reproduce code:
---------------
foreach ($students as $key => $row){
$surname[$key] = $row['surname'];
}
array_multisort($surname, SORT_ASC, $students);
Expected result:
----------------
ABADIA, ÁLVARES, ALVEREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA
Actual result:
--------------
ABADIA, ALVAREZ, BUÑUEL, ZUBIETA, ÁLVARES
