Description Clint Adams 2009-01-10 02:08:08 UTC 
According to David Weinehall:

"Until 2006, W was regarded as a variant of V, but when the 13th edition
of SAOL (Svenska Akademiens OrdLista; the reference dictionary for the
Swedish language) was introduced, W was a proper letter, after V in
the alphabet[1].

This means that the reordering rule in sv_SE should be removed.

Sorry that the reference link is only in Swedish, but news like this are
unlikely to be printed in foreign newspapers..."

There are some objections to this from other Swedish speakers.

Yes, please refrain from doing this change until we have this sorted out (pardon
the pun).

marking as WONTFIX since it seems no consensus has been reached
