Subject: Sorting behavior of Latin accented characters depends on what characters follow them ... XPath fails to sort correctly

Hi Folks,
The character 'A' sorts before the character 'C' so this XPath expression
returns true:
'A' lt 'C'
According to [1] the sorting behavior changes depending on what character
follows. Thus, the string 'Cb' sorts before the string 'Ah' and this XPath
expression should return true:
'Cb' lt 'Ah'
However, it returns false.
Why?
What XPath expression will return the correct result?
/Roger
