Sort text cells with diacritics in Excel

S

Hello, I need to sort text cells with diacritics, like words with acute (Ã)
and carron (Č).
eg. I have words Acam, Ãcam, Acom, AÄom... and I need to sort them like
this: Acam, Acom, AÄom, Ãcam... Please help, thanks.

Why would AÄom come before Ãcam?
Is this type of sort a common need in your profession/industry/location?
Are you able to use VBA code (macro)?

To Jim Cone: Yes, exactly like you said, I need this type of sort in my job.
I have to sort different surnames and our alphabet (Slovak language) looks
like this: A, a, Ã, á, B, b, C, c, ÄŒ, Ä, D, d... So I have to sort
alphabetically the names at first by the 1st character in word, then by the
2nd character in word, etc.
eg. after the sort it would be: Acam, Acom, AÄom, Adam, Ãcam, ÃÄam, Ãdam,
ÃÄam, Boris, Brian, Broke, BÅ™ian, BÅ™uno, Cecil, ÄŒerný, David, ...
VBA code can be used , but I need instructions.

Michal,

Windows XP has a Slovak language setting (control panel) and so does XL 2007 (options).
Using those settings, I would think, should enable a proper sort order. Have you tried them?

Yes, I have Win7 and Office 07 both in Slovak language. I have to use my own
order to sort by using VBA.

So are you saying that Excel 2007 does not sort correctly?
-or-
Are you saying that you want a specific custom sort order that is not in Slovak alphabetical order?

Separate question: Is the following, that I put together, the correct character order for the Slovak alphabet?
(46 characters times 2; upper and lower case)

A
Ã
Ä

á

B

C
