So the ISO way is the right way, right?
asveikau•4m ago
Sorting is language specific even if you're restricted to languages using Latin characters. Eg. How do you sort N relative to Ñ? How do you treat the Turkish variations on the letter I?

Doing a dumb sort by character or byte values is obviously the wrong call for any diacritics, but the right call may also depend on the language.
