Non-ASCII characters are not sorted properly

Bug Description

In a list of team members, names starting with diacritic characters (ä, á, é, í, ó, etc.) are sorted last, instead of together with the non-diacritic versions of the same letters. For example, in <https://launchpad.net/people/bugsquad>, "Áron Sisak" is ordered last in the list of members but should be with the rest of the As. This makes the list harder to scan.

Instead, sorting should ignore diacritics unless they are the only thing distinguishing one name from another.

Compare bug 5417, about searching for names regardless of diacritic; the fixes for these bugs may use the same cached non-diacritic version.
