Problem

Symptoms: A user is trying to sort German words. Any letter that has umlauts over it like O should be read as an OE, U as a UE, etc. The customer is trying to sort the following list: oh, ol, open and Osterreich. The correct order should be ol, Osterreich oh, open. Solutions: In the German language, letters with an umlaut accent are not treated as a separate characters but as a variation of the letter. In the example above the O and o are treated just as o's and sorted according. WP is working correctly and is sorting the same as the Langenscheidts dictionary (the dictionary standard for Germany).
