For all sorting tasks, large or small, I've found that Perl is quite
indispensible.

And for internationalized sorting, I wrote a Perl module to automate the
generation of sort functions:

I even wrote a Perl Journal article about it:

If you want it printed up all pretty, it's available as a chapter in the
third /Best of The Perl Journal/ book:
