Order problem due to Danish alphabet

    In Danish we have the three extra vowels ?, ? and ?. They come in this order at the end of the alphabet (after z). However, when I put in a word (in my case a book title) in my data table starting with for instance ? it gets listed under a. This is a problem for my users when they search for a book title starting with ? – they might not find what they are looking for, because it is listed under a. Is there anyway I can sort my titles so that ?, ? and ? come after z?

    Hi there, thank you for your inquiry,

    wpDataTables (non-server-side tables) uses native Javascript string sorting, which unfortunately does not sort all alphabets or UTF-8 characters properly. We are looking around for a solution, but unfortunately haven’t come across a good one yet.
    For server-side tables the sorting is done by MySQL engine, which has a better algorithm of sorting, however these are unfortunately only supported by the full version.
