And this is the *true* answer to the whole mess of attempting *multilingual*
sorts -- once the user chooses the sort they WANT, the system might handle
other language strings in a way that might be obscure to those who know the
other language but the person who expected Danish or whatever will see what
they want.

Since various sorts openly conflict with each other there is no other
general case solution which would be appropriate, anyway?
