For example, ICU (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/) comes with collation.
The default sort order for all of Unicode is from the UCA (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/).
For some languages we have tailorings to collate certain code points or sequences differently.

The source files for those are in our locale resource bundles, http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/icu/source/data/locales/
See files ja.txt, ko.txt, and variations of zh*.txt.
For the format of the collation tailorings see http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Collate_Customization.html

There are charts that show the tailorings in a more graphic way, although they cannot convey all the details (like contractions):
