Sorting can be done not only by locale and alphabetically, but also in
phone book and more sort orders. Just in German you have a couple of
options to sort umlauts, and such national stuff is covered by unicode
standard libraries.
I didn't realize that such functions are supplied only for the target
Unicode representation, thanks for mentioning this topic.
