I don't understand. Are you saying that "ré" should sort the same as
"RÉ", and that the ambiguity should be solved by the next column? Well
if it's that, I'm afraid it's not the way the locale is defined. I wish
I could tell you how it is defined, but I don't really understand it.
You can see for yourself in:

The rules seem pretty convoluted.
