Hmmm, I feel that the situation is more complicated (same as in Czech). Proper sorting needs several (3 or 4, perhaps some languages more?) passes: 1. pass: division - define which letters comes to the same group (it can be also group of letters) - defined for newtexutil.rb 2. pass: sorting with the simplified rules e.g. ü=ue=Ü=Ue=UE 3. pass: if all letter are the same according the 2. pass, then apply e.g. ü<ue<Ü<Ue<UE 4. ??? (perhaps problems with Czech 'Ch'). After that: 'Üb' < 'üz' < 'Üz' > Greetlings from Lake Constance! Enjoy it.
