* It automatically drops accents, since accented
letters sort the same
as unaccented letters (at the primary level).
How locale aware is it? For example, in Swedish accented letters come
at the end of the alphabet and in Lithuanian I, Į and Y are collated
together as if they were one letter. There are many quirks of this
kind in other languages.
And i don't know what to do when in the Lithuanian Wikipedia you sort
names of places in the UK - should Islington come before or after
York? (But hey, there's at least one Lithuanian MediaWiki developer,
so i don't know whether my help is really needed here.)
