functionality so much that they want to look into

Yes the problem is probably that you are creating over 1000 threads, each of

This is a good example.
Liénard comes at the end, because apparently the sort uses the ASCII

A solution would be to have two columns for names, like

Yep, you are right, in China, the phonebooks and dictionaries are sorted
ascending using pinyin. So, in this case, if the Chinese names are stored
in the DB using pinyin, then it is actually easy to sort because there will
be no symbols outside of the 26 English alphabet letters.
