Okay, it seems I found out. Each letter has to be changed to its hexadecimal 
ASCII representation, using capitals. So to start at 'ABC' or 'Abc', one has to 
use cmstarthexsortkey=414243. For non-ascii characters, I assume it's the 
Unicode representation (which for the ASCII set is the same). So far, so good. 
But it seems there are exceptions to this too - on Dutch, to have the same 
start, one has to use cmstarthexsortkey=27292B instead. On Russian it does not 
work at all - 0878087904 starts at the beginning, 08768087905 is beyond the 
end. On Spanish, Swedish and Italian, 00 is already beyond the end, so you 
cannot even get the full list this way. It's a mess.
