When lists of names or words need to be ordered, but the context does not define a particular single language or alphabet, the Unicode Collation Algorithm provide a way to put them in sequence.

This collation method is very similar to the European Ordering Rules.

For strings in the Latin alphabet, the ordering is the same as normal sorting order in English and similar languages, since it first looks only at letters stripped of any modifications or diacritical marks.
