For sorting to work correctly some programming is needed (maybe by you?)
Maybe after a few years of programing lessons
It's not as easy as you might think:

Oh, I can see it's really complicated. Does it mean that at present this is not planned to make it working correct? Or maybe it is in very distant plans only?
Thanks for this link – it was very interesting. I didn't realise that there are such differences in sorting in different languages.
I'm from Poland and in Polish the nonbasic characters are quite popular. But there are many other languages with such characters like ç, é, ö, ü and similar so I think it is important to sort them well. Otherwise there will be problems with efficient browsing long lists of file names or tags (long lists on 20 or 40 GB HDD are common) because people are accustomed to correct sorting. Even in computer programs in Poland I've always seen correct sorting.
I understand this can be very hard to make perfect sorting in many languages so it would be a good thing to implement the Unicode Collation Algorithm without language-specific tailoring – it should do well in most cases I think.
