(sort (list "Arrieta" "Antón" "Álvarez") 'string-collate-lessp)

If that doesn't work, check your LOCALE (or LANG) environment variable
(see the docstring of string-collate-lessp for details).

Someting like

(sort (list "Antón" "Arrieta" "Álvarez")
      (lambda (a b)
	(string-collate-lessp a b "es_ES.UTF-8" t)))

should do the right thing regardless of your environment variables (at
least on GNU/Linux).
