Hello Everybody

I have a kind of special problem it seems to me, because I can not find anything about it on the community or in the web. I use a <rich:dataTable> to display a search result over multiple pages using a datascroller. The table is used in different countries with different encodings for the chars. This all works fine for us. But when it comes to sorting colums RichFaces kind of gets stuck, because it sorts the entries with special chars to the end.

As an example in Hungary we have A and Á. When I sort the column the Ás are behind Z. Is there a kind of property to set or do I have to do it correctly on the serverside? The locale is correctly set in the environment, btw.
