Cc-ing the manpages-dev maintainers (sorry I forgot to do so before). Where to go from here? I believe giving a summary of the collation order chosen for each locale would be a lot of work for very little gain (unless there are some important details common to most locales), so I would suggest pointing to the locale generation tools and locale sources to help the reader to find these things out for herself instead. Anyway, your best bet is is to work with upstream, as described at [1], and let us know a relevant Message-ID so we can track your work. Making the platform's behavior more intuitive is certainly a valuable goal. Thanks!
