Hi Ruslan,

I use the tools at hand. For the sort in Xojo it's the NS method and in Valentina it's the collation of the ICU.

According to 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3739989/collation-strength-and-local-language-relation

the secondary collation SHOULD do what I want. The answer has this nice comparison table:

	• Primary
		• Different: a, á, Á, b
		• Same: á, â
		• Same: a, A
	• Secondary
		• Different: a, á, Á, b
		• Different: á, â
		• Same: a, A
	• Tertiary
		• Different: a, á, Á, b
		• Different: á, â
		• Different: a, A
	• Identical
		• Also consider differences you can't see, for example between (accented A) and (A) + (accent)

The help text in Valentina for the collation info needs a bit of reformatting. Nowadays these yellow mini windows look rather old fashioned, too.
