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.
