How locale aware is it? For example, in Swedish accented letters come
at the end of the alphabet and in Lithuanian I, Į and Y are collated
together as if they were one letter. There are many quirks of this
kind in other languages.

And i don't know what to do when in the Lithuanian Wikipedia you sort
names of places in the UK - should Islington come before or after
York? (But hey, there's at least one Lithuanian MediaWiki developer,
so i don't know whether my help is really needed here.)
