Sorting in the .net framework -- dotnet internationalization

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to sort some data with the
System.Collection.Sortedlist object, in the 'fo-FO' culture.

Sorting for the 'fo-FO' culture doesn't seem to be working correctly,
as the letter 'Æ' (unicode c6) and 'æ' (unicode e6) seem to be sorted
as a 'ae' value. Eg. between 'above' and 'after'.

In the 'fo_FO' culture (faroese) the letter 'Æ' should be sorted
between v and ø.

There faroese alphabet is as follows: aábdðefhiíjklmnoóprstuúvyýæø.

The letters cqwxz are not formally part of the faroese alphabet, but
are normally sorted as follows: aábcdðefhiíjklmnoópqrstuúvwxyýzæø.

Is there a way to change this, or has the sort order been hardcoded
into binary files. If the latter is true, I would appreciate if
someone could tell me how to inform microsoft about this error.

Regards

Unfortunately, the Faroese sort is not currently supported by Windows or the
..NET Framework of any version.
