Sort order is a specific set of rules which can affect end result of sorting.
There are some predefined SortOrders. In ICU it is called 'collator options',
for example "UCA4.0.0_AS_LSV_S" - this means:

UCA (Unicode collation algorithm) version 4.0.0; ignore spaces, punctuation and
symbols; use Swedish linguistic conventions;
compare case-insensitively.

I have not yet fully understand how can we use this but I am sure that ICU
supports this.

Yes. But for now they are very simple.

I haven't think about this.

I simply don't know where to put it..
