Hmmm, I found "de-DE_phoneb" in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd374060 but setlocale("de-DE_phoneb") always fails at least on my machine. The doc says "de-DE_phoneb" is a locale name for MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(LANG_GERMAN, SUBLANG_GERMAN), SORT_GERMAN_PHONE_BOOK). Some of native Win32 APIs could accept the locale and sort-order combination, but setlocale() in CRT seems to reject it. So, you could use the locale if you find a setlocale-compatible name of "de-DE_phoneb". Or, you cannot use it, unless we modify PostgreSQL to use Win32 locale functions instead of standard libc ones -- but it is hardly acceptable.
