Wrong sorting of artists with a prefix/umlaut

The artists list is sorted in a wrong way when having artists with a prefix 
like "The".

In my case, there's an artist called "Die Ärzte" and my artists list looks 
like this

(#)
2 Men Ahead
(A)
a-ha
Alanis Morissette
...
Art Garfunkel
(D)
Die Ärzte
(A)
Aswad
(B)
...

So basically the list of (A) artists is interrupted and 'Die Ärzte' is 
inserted in the middle of it.
This could be also caused by the collation which causes the 'Ä' (A umlaut) to 
be treated different.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd actually expect an artist starting with Ä to be sorted according to the 
locale - some locales do a sorting like this:

A, Ä, B, ...

while others do it like this:

A, B, ... X, Y, Z, Ä, Ö, Ü

I'm not really sure whether the sorting problem is caused by the fact that it 
is an artist with a prefix or it is due to the umlaut.
