German umlauts, sorting of headers

[wkaurzinek]

You've fixed the issue "Group by heading - German umlauts #29" faster than light. Thank you for that. Unfortunately there's one more problem with the german umlauts: The sorting of the groups is not correct.

The umlauts should be ordered after the "corresponding plain characters" (I don't know how to explain that in a better way). The sort order is from A to Z, and the umlauts should be ordered as follows: A, Ä, B, C, ..., O, Ö, ... U, Ü, ... X, Y, Z.

At the moment you do the sorting in this way:

A Anfang U Umlaute Z Zu Ende Ä Ärgernis Ü Überschrift1

The groups containing the umlauts are at the end of the list. In the last version the empty groups were at this place. I'm sorry, because I've noticed that this groups were on the end, but I havent't wrote that because I thought the order would be correct if the letter is there.

I'm using the plugin "simplenavi" for navigation in the sidebar. This plugin will show the pages in the correct order:

Anfang Ärgernis Umlaute Überschrift1 Zu Ende

Maybe you will find some time to fix this? I'm sorry for making troubles ...

This is quite a big request you are asking, sorting all different languages correctly (not just German) is no small task in PHP, I will eventually find time for it, but not soon. This is just a little plugin for my own use which I share with others... I have only so many free hours!

Thank you for your answer! This thing is not that important, I know that. Please don't think that there's pressure from my side! As I wrote, "maybe you'll find some time". If you don't find the time (and I know that there's much more to do, more important things than that), I'll be glad. And if not, also everything's will be ok. I have to say "thank you" again, for fixing my first problem.

It's me again! I did some research abaout sorting in PHP. I'm no expert in PHP, commonly I use C# for my work. You're right, sorting umlauts in PHP is not as easy as expected. But then I've had an idea. So I looked into your code and made an extension to the file "pagequery.php", into the sorting function. Unfortunately I don't know how to attach a file.

At first I declare 2 arrays:

Then I put this 2 arrays into the sort function:

And at least I replace the umlauts in the sort keys using the arrays (which is faster than replacing every umlaut separated):

Well, maybe there's a more professional solution. It's a quick fix, maybe dirty too.
