In French, for the purpose of collation, you don't take into account
apostrophes, hyphens and whitespaces. Diacritics are not used too (acute,
grave, circumflex accents, diaeresis/trema, cedilla), except in presence of
homographs (e.g.: cote/côte/coté/côté ; also, whitespace before hyphen: vice
versa/vice-versa)
See: http://www.cuy.be/orthotypo/classem_alphab.htm#regles (in French but
there's an example which makes the "rules" easier to understand)
