The problem is much more difficult than that (see the linked bug). Commas, case sensitivity and whitespace are a trivial problem in comparison with non-ASCII letters.
It is exactly this attitude of "oh, it's so difficult" that has blocked bug 164 from being fixed. I doubt it will get fixed in the coming year. But the more aggressive use of DEFAULTSORT could be applied within a year. I know this is not the "right" or most advanced solution, it's just an improvement that *can be made*.
