I have a bibliography with the occasional German or French name with accented characters in it. I have recently noticed that EndNote Plus 1.2 does not alphabetize these names properly. For example, the name "Munster" with an umlaut over the 'u' is alphabetized after "Muret," although convention would put it before (ignoring the umlaut for the purposes of alphabetization). I know that for the Mac, the ASCII values are different for the u with and without umlaut, and for other accented vs. unaccented characters, which explains the program's current behavior. Is there some chance that future versions of EndNote Plus will consider these characters equivalent, or allow the user to customize the sort order? This is not a major drawback, but it would be nice to have things sort properly.
