Ok, well through manipulation of the weights (<a>, <b>, <BAS>, <CAP>, <MIN>)
and the comparision directions (forward, backward, position), is it even
possible to specify the collation I was looking for (a, A, aa, ab, Aa)?
I have tried every permutation that I could think of and couldn't come up with
this style of sorting without adding the character address as the first weight.
