Hi @Community Alums, 

This is a really great question. The system should be handling it automatically behind the scenes, however with extended characters (think european languages with vowels having accents for example) we will be introducing a new more advanced sorting feature in an upcoming release for some situations like these - it's incredibly complex. 

Generally speaking though, you should not need to add any logic for sorting. What I would ask though, is if you could validate the behaviour in English vs Brazilian Portuguese (as per your example), then compare the English string with the Brazilian Portuguese string (e.g. do both start with A). If for what-ever reason it's sorting on the original English value rather than the Brazilian string values, could you confirm the field type that the sorting is referencing, as well as whether all values are translated and available in both languages and if it's incorrect whilst being seemingly valid please log a case (add me on the watchlist),

Many thanks,
kind regards
