Not in Dutch: as far as I have seen it sorts the same as "y". In fact, in
the telephone directory many people who had an "y" in their surname listed
near people who had the same surname spelled with "ij" (e.g. "Meyer" and
"Meijer").

(Anyway, next time they send me to Holland, I'll ask for a downtown hotel.
So, after dinner, I'll go sightseeing rather than spending the whole evening
looking at the collation of the phone directory:-)
