Alternative solution with ConTeXt’s sorting mechanism:
\mainlanguage[swedish]
\definedescription
[TelefonEntry]
[width=2em]
\unexpanded\def\TelefonCommand#1#2#3%
{\startTelefonEntry{#2}#3\stopTelefonEntry}
\definesorting[Telefon][Telefone]
\starttext
\Telefon[a]{78423}
\Telefon[b]{78264}
\Telefon[ö]{78264}
\Telefon[Ö]{23423}
\Telefon[å]{23402394}
\Telefon[åå]{23042}
\Telefon[ååå]{098234}
\startcolumns[n=3]
\placelistofsorts[Telefon][criterium=all,command=\TelefonCommand]
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
