Default Sort text cells with diacritics in Excel

Michal,

Windows XP has a Slovak language setting (control panel) and so does XL 2007 (options).
Using those settings, I would think, should enable a proper sort order. Have you tried them?

To Jim Cone: Yes, exactly like you said, I need this type of sort in my job.
I have to sort different surnames and our alphabet (Slovak language) looks
like this: A, a, Á, á, B, b, C, c, Č, č, D, d... So I have to sort
alphabetically the names at first by the 1st character in word, then by the
2nd character in word, etc.
eg. after the sort it would be: Acam, Acom, Ačom, Adam, Ácam, Áčam, Ádam,
Áďam, Boris, Brian, Broke, Břian, Břuno, Cecil, Černý, David, ...
VBA code can be used , but I need instructions.

Why would Ačom come before Ácam?
Is this type of sort a common need in your profession/industry/location?
Are you able to use VBA code (macro)?
