| Yet, other languages that use ö may well alphabetise it as a
| completely separate letter. IIRC this is done for example in
| Hungarian dictionaries, where O and Ö are different sections of the
| dictionary, Ö following after O. In Icelandic I think (may well be
| wrong, though), that it is customary to sort words with Ö at the
| end, that is, even *after* Z.

Swedish too:  The Swedish alphabet ends ...XYZÅÄÖ.
And the Danish and Norwegian, ...XYZÆØÅ.
(The Danish/Norwegian use of Ø corresponds roughly to the Swedish Ö,
and Æ to Ä.)
