No bibliography sorting, when using utf-8

[clemenstimpler]

Binary package hint: biblatex

Source package: biblatex

Release: Jaunty

Package Version: 0.8 b-1

"\printbibliography" should generate an alphabetically sorted bibliography from a UTF-8 bib.file. Instead, "\printbibliography" generates a bibliography in the order of appearance in the text. Changing sorting options in the preamble does not help.

Proposed solution: Package "biber" (http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/index.html), a fully UTF-8-capable replacement for bibtex. Temporary workaround: Follow the instructions here: http://www.texdev.net/2010/01/23/building-biblatex-biber/
