MySQL problem using ORDER BY for international category names
Anybody knows how can mysql ORDER BY international strings?
I know this is not just LSQL problem, but I can not solve it. Maybe somebody knows it.

I would need to do sortings for different international languages.
So locale definition should be changed within MySQL.
(changing locale for the system is not solution, because I need
to change more times for different languages)
How it is possible?

Currently the ORDER BY is sorting categories by English locale, putting the non-English starting category names to the last position.
I would like to keep ordering with MySQL ORDER BY, and not to do additional sortings in Perl.

By the way: setting correct perl locales did not help (of course).

Please help! Any ideas are welcome!
