Hello everyone!

would ideally become (IMHO): “Smith, Joh
While I don't see a real problem here (I never actually saw such a case,
which – if necessary – can easily be resolved by one simple edit replacing

What does it mean to sort properly?
See http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/ for the official Unicode answer. It's
probably not what you think it is. And, more importantly, I doubt an
