#### Version 1.23.2.4656 Is there a way to make Plex use the system character set for title sort? As it is now I have to replace “æ” with zz, “ø” with “zzz” and “å” with zzzz. ---

Are you expecting that e.g. “ø” is sitting at the end of the alphabet, after the “z”? Isn’t it much more logical to find it after the “o”? ---

I see that Plex support the Sweedish alphabet … Unfortunately not the Norwegian and Danish set! ---

It did once but now I see it doesn’t anymore. (The Swedish ö and å appeared some years ago beyond z) ---

Anyway the work around with extra z’s is okay (I just have to remember to correct this) ---

I’ve asked and the answer is probably not entirely satisfactory to you: Plex is using the unicode standard root collation for ordering. An (extrememely technical and convoluted) explanation of that can be found in here [UTS #10: Unicode Collation Algorithm](https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Collation_And_Code_Chart_Order) What will probably be changed in the future, is that Plex won’t generate an ASCII-version of the title to put into the “sort title” anymore. (e.g. currently, title “Øl” becomes sort title “Ol”) ---
