Description:
Several languages use caracters combined with diacritics. These caracters are not sorted properly.

For example the word ñoño will be found after all the z*, but it should be between all the n* and the o* if the locale is es.
It would also be useful to be able to set the level of comparison (L1, L2,...).

How to repeat:
Order text that is using accented caracters.

Suggested fix:
Support Unicode Multi-Level comparison and locales

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Additional info:

"Unicode Multi-level comparison" is supported.
You need to provide a complete repeatable test case (and specify your MySQL version too), if you think it does not work as it should.

The version of MySQL I was using was old, the latest version does handle locales for string collation properly. Thanks
