Hello

Consider please the following example:

| Anton   |
| Álvarez |
| Arrieta |


  org-table-sort-lines using alphabetic ordering results in


| Anton   |
| Arrieta |
| Álvarez |

Which is contra intuitive to say the least. The accented A should be
treated as if it did not have an accent resulting in

| Álvarez |
| Anton   |
| Arrieta |

That is the way excel (which I try to avoid usually but which is doing
the right thing), works, libreoffice ooffice is also on the wired side
here.     

regards

Uwe Brauer
