Don't know that being Swedish has any bearing on the sorting. It sounds =
like MS is probably doing some pre-sort filtering when doing Songs that =
they don't do when displaying Artists. Probably converting =C4 to just A =
and then doing the sort.
When doing the sort for Songs the pr-sort filter has probably converted =
the =C4 to just A for the sort. Then when sorting Artists the =C4 =
remains a =C4 and is treated as a different character than just A. I =
believe this would put =C4 in the Artist display between the A's and the =
B's. The sort value for just A is 0x0041 but =C4 is 0x00C4.
Just my 2=A2
