In French, the letter A has a lower sort value than the letter B. The question of whether or not to assign lower-case letters the same sort value as their upper-case counterpart will depend on the application. Letters with diacritics are sometimes treated like the corresponding basic letter and sometimes as a different letter. 1, record 1, English, - sort%20value
