--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When viewing lists of items in the WordPress admin area (pages, posts) and
 sorting by title, items that start with either of the characters æäøöå are
 sorted in the wrong order. At least for some languages.

 I realize the "correct" order will depend of the person being asked, but
 these characters are native to Scandinavia, and the sort order is wrong
 for our countries.

 For Norway and Denmark, our alphabets end in... xyzæøå

 For Sweden and Finand, the ending is xyzåäö

 So in short, Ø or Ö being sorted as O does not make sense for us. Neither
 will Å being treated as A, as it is on the opposite side of the alphabet.
