This order sucks IMHO. It does not respect collation rules at all. This is a 
regression back to strcmp()-like sorting. This may be intuitive for a 
computer, but this is totally counter-intuitive to humans:

Good / strcoll():
abc  Abc  àbc  Àbc  acb  Acb  àcb  Àcb

Bad / strcmp() and strverscmp():
Abc  Acb  abc  acb  Àbc  Àcb  àbc  àcb
