I should say that the sort does seem to work on the ascii codes so that
higher codes come later in the collating sequence.
The OpenOffice.org sort order for the Latin 1 characters (including
ASCII characters) is:
` ´ ^ ¯ ¨ ¸ _ - , ; : ! ¡ ? ¿ . · ' ' ‚ " « » ( ) [ ] { } § ¶ © ® @ * /
\ & # % ° + ± ÷ × < = > ¬ | ¦ ~ ¤ ¢ £ ¥ 0 1 ¹ ½ ¼ 2 ² 3 ³ ¾ 4 5 6 7 8 9
a A ª á Á à À â Â â å Å ä Ä ã Ã æ Æ b B c C ç Ç d D ð Ð e E é É è È ê Ê
ë Ë f F g G h H i I í Í ì Ì î Î ï Ï j J k K l L m M n N ñ Ñ o O º ó Ó ò
Ó ô Ô ö Ö õ Õ ø Ø p P q Q r R s S ß t T u U ú Ú ù Ù û Û ü Ü v V w W x X
y Y ý Ý ÿ z Z þ Þ µ
This isn't the same as the native ASCII order or native Latin 1 order
but is much more reasonable.
See http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/ for information on the Unicode
Collation Algorithm which is what OpenOffice.org is supposed to be using
and which is here seen to be using, at least in this simple sort of
characters standing alone, despite the bug you have found involving
numeric digits
