That is less than half of the truth.
In German, there are still two, mutually incompatible, sort orders in
use: In 1st approximation,
- in dictionaries, "München" would sort like "Munchen",
- in German phone directories, "München" would sort like "Muenchen",
- in Austrian phone directories, "München" would sort after "Muz"
(according to <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_5007> -- I do not
have 1st hand knowledge, in this particular case).
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
