Eg: Zoran Milojevic ... =D3scar Fuentes The current repository version has a different sort order, where "=D3scar" appears after "Oscar". How does the difference come about? It doesn't seem to be due to LC_COLLATE. The M-x authors command sorts using string-lessp, and according to the Elisp manual entry on string<: "An ASCII character is less than any non-ASCII character". The current repository version does look nicer IMO. Is there some modification to authors.el that can ensure this sort order is always used? Thanks.
