Run into this before, PHP seams to do quite well when you set the locale right ( de_DE ) which will place AÄBCD.... instead of ABCD....ÄÖÜ.
Hope this helps :-)

Hi,
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to effectively sort text with multi byte characters? I am working on a project that uses lots of German text, and the letters with umlauts don't sort correctly. I'm using the mb_* functions in a few places (to adapt an ASCII-encoded database to XML output for flash, which is always expected to be in UTF-8), but none of them seems to be made for string comparison.
thanks, -mike.
