Re: [libreoffice-users] sort order

Got it! I can replace the ''A" in my "Aa" with Greek alpha (or with Russian 'A') and it works 
perfectly, with the minor exception that the non English characters look as if they have come from 
a different font. But I can live with that, I think it's the best solution possible.

Thanks
Gary

 These are not punctuation marks, but a bit of
 experimentation 
 suggests that any Greek character, upper or lower case, will
 serve.
 
 I trust this helps.
