I agree with Berto on this...there should definitely be some kind of wiki-defined sort order so that accented characters can sort inline with non-accented in languages where the accents are not separate letters. I'm wondering though, does anyone have a proposed solution other than the sort-keys, that would be more of an actual solution than a loophole? Perhaps something like a system message which defines a wiki's search order and which letters the wiki will treat as equivalent? And something so that searches for, say, "pago" could turn up results like "págo" and "pàgo" (since the accents would be ignored)? And how far along is a solution?
I'm a question guy tonight...
