Well, a number of locales where French is influential, should stll have
the reversed accents sorting. This should include fr_BE, fr_CH, da_DK,
fr_CA and a number of locales in Africa, that uses French as a business language.
da_DK we say that as where this matters, it is most likely because the words or names
originate from French. The same reasoning coul also apply to nb_NO, nn_NO and sv_SE
