DR-16-0018: WML: need sort method for special characters [for today's call]

[keld at keldix.com]

I am not aware of the reason why this is so.

But anyway, why not then use the 14651 tailorable ordering in its template form,
which is equivalent to UTS#10 - as the universal sorting in OOXML?

I would think it was a user requirement that fields are sortable according to the current locale,
eg a list of names. 

Having the sorting order not being changeable creates troubles for users too.

best regards
