Paul, I believe they *are* sorted without regard to accent with the
language set to English. It's the SQL query that distinguishes
between them. So that leads me to the same question: Ruslan, why
can't we choose to have extended ASCII characters treated like their
base values when doing a search (as in German)? I guess I could
arbitrarily set the field language to German (or French) but I don't
know if that would have any unexpected side effects.
