 Both Tracker and Deskbar (not sure about other applications) seem to sort
 objects (Tracker: files/folders; Deskbar: applications) incorrectly. In
 particular, the collation algorithm seems to ignore locale settings and
 sort everything that is non-ascii (e.g. extended Latin characters) after
 all ASCII entries.
 This has been verified by me using Lithuanian locale and by Humdinger
 using German locale.

 Filing this under Tracker per Stippi's suggestion (quoting: "The code for
 this is in Tracker (libtracker to be precise). Deskbar shares it. Filing
 under Tracker would be right for practical purposes.").
