If there are two pages with the defaultsort "Vallenberg" and "Wallenberg", I think "V" should be sorted before "W" as if "W" was a diacritic of "V", but it is not critical. Earlier "W" was just regarded as another way of writing "V". The letter "W" was almost only used in names and foreign words. Then somebody invented 'World Wide Web', and you know the rest of the story better than me... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
