It seems that the easiest solution is the following
- run iso-unaccentuate (which runs on regions) on the table, which
will change Álvarez to 'Alvarez,
- sort. The sorting is ok
- reconvert via iso-accentuate the table.
I don't understand much of the org-table sort code. My naive approach would be
to
define
org-table-iso-accentuate and org-table-iso-unaccentuate and then add
that via defadvice to the original function, but that seems a bad
approach since defacvice makes it difficult to debug.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
