If you are talking about everything that lies under so called LATIN-1 (
ISO-8859-1 )
en_US encapsulates ( at least suppose to ) all those sorting rules,
do not remember about accents tho.

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Sorting Problem
This brings up another question:
Say initdb with en_US locale, and we have localized strings for
different
languages store in the db.
If we have a client in Germany, and want to see the text sorted in
german. I
mean that we want do db soring for german strings and display the result
in the
browser. How are we going to handle that ??
thanks,
kathy
