Sir, you may have to change the character set. I think the default 
character set  causes sorts to be correct for Swedish, which puts the 
funny looking vowels at the end. I know that I have to use the Danish 
character set to get the correct sort for Norwegian. Check the manual 
for instructions on changing character sets. It's been a while since 
I've done it, and I no longer remember how.
