Sorry if I over-interpreted your wording.
If this is not the case, why then use Unicode ?
I thought Unicode is just for international *coding* of characters but
not for sort order definition.

If string compare also allows for greater vs smaller results the
programming language needs to impose some sort order (and maybe a lot more
locale-depending complex algorithms). This to me seems horribly
complicated.

Sorting can be done not only by locale and alphabetically, but also in
phone book and more sort orders. Just in German you have a couple of
options to sort

Such a sort order is not usable for me.
