Thank you all for your very quick and informative replies. I was basing this assumption that Å was classed as a standard 'A' from a list of countries I was looking at (Wikipedia sorts it like this, too - though this isn't what I was using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries#A)
I will leave it as it is, with Å at the bottom, if this is the correct ordering. Once again, thank you! Oliver -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
