Description:
The sorting on the following is not correct. The "thita" stays before "Alpha", but it is not ok. It should be like in English in the middle of the alphabet.

Thank you.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE `test_greek` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`name` VARCHAR( 10 ) CHARACTER SET greek COLLATE greek_general_ci NOT NULL 
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

INSERT INTO `test_greek` ( `id` , `name` ) 
VALUES (
NULL , 'Tουρκία'
), (
NULL , 'Αγγλία'
);

INSERT INTO `test_greek` ( `id` , `name` ) 
VALUES (
NULL , 'Δανία'
);

## Not working SQL
SELECT * 
FROM `test_greek` 
WHERE 1 
ORDER BY name
LIMIT 0 , 100

Suggested fix:
Put the letter to the appropriate place in the characters table.

Not, a bug. the text was inserted with the English T on the beginning.

So there is no issue at all.

Thank you.
