Re: order by accents?

Similarly, if I order by last name, last names consisting of two or more
words (e.g., "van Agoden") fall at the end of the list, after last names
beginning with zed.  I would expect 

Val, JB
Van, ER
Vanel, SV
Van Agoden, BT

or some similar ordering, but not

Val, JB
Van, ER
Vanel, SV
...
Zag, SH
Zuli, TP
Van Agoden, BT
etc.

I'm using version 6.5.3.
