Hello
According to
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/collation/de.html the German
phonebook sort order is
a A ä Ä ą̈ Ą̈ ǟ Ǟ ạ̈ Ạ̈ ḁ̈ Ḁ̈ b B c C d D e E f F g G h H i I j J k K
l L m M n N o O ö Ö ǫ̈ Ǫ̈ ȫ Ȫ ơ̈ Ơ̈ ợ̈ Ợ̈ ọ̈ Ọ̈ p P q Q r R s S ss ß t
T u U ü Ü ǘ Ǘ ǜ Ǜ ǚ Ǚ ų̈ Ų̈ ǖ Ǖ ư̈ Ư̈ ự̈ Ự̈ ụ̈ Ụ̈ ṳ̈ Ṳ̈ ṷ̈ Ṷ̈ ṵ̈ Ṵ̈ v
V w W x X y Y z Z
I wonder why it looks like this. A lot of characters which never
appear in a German text.
For Spanish there is 'traditional' and 'standard'

And French is not easily found
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/collation/index.htmlor seems to be defined elsewhere
