The È... comes from French surnames and our French developer wants to group all versions
of E together. The É... can be found in French surnames in Sweden as well as in Germany.
The program, GRAMPS is a genealogy program used in about 20 languages, so there is no
preferred language.
I know. However, Swedish telephone books and dictionaries are sorted the same:
A,B,C... X,Y,Z,Å,Ä,Ö.
True. I agree.
GRAMPS runs in the locale of the user, but must be able to handle information coming from
many other languages/countries. That's why it's hard to be universal.
We can have them in names. See above.
I think we have found a solution that can handle most cases.
We treat surnames beginning with "ÅÄÖ" special. I don't think that there are many surnames
outside the Nordic countries that starts with any of these three letters.
Vielen dank!
