[EP-tech] Alphabetically sort names with special characters

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi

 

Hopefully a quick question with an easy answer:

 

How do we get alphabetic sorting to list accented characters at an appropriate point in an alphabetic list? The default behaviour seems to use UniCode values or something, as accented characters appear at the end of the alphabet.

 

For example, when I see this kind of sequence from Eprints:

  • Church, B
  • Lee, K
  • Ågren, R
  • Çınar, D

 

I feel that it should (probably) be:

 

  • Ågren, R
  • Church, B
  • Çınar, D
  • Lee, K

 

Is there a simple setting to implement sorting in a way that respects accented characters? (and will these characters reproduce accurately after emailing! Image attached just in case)

 

Best wishes

 

Will
