Yeah. Which leads to my Frankensteinian settings:

    LANG=en_US.utf8
    LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8
    LC_COLLATE=C

Because, y'know, I *don't* want German localised error messages
for a number of reasons; but I *do* want my umlauts considered
word letters; but I DO NOT wanted my files sorted any other way
than ASCIIbetically. Unbreak me, unbreak me harder!
