Description
Describe the bug
Groups with UTF8 characters in names are sorted in bad order, characters with diacritics are at the end (see SOkA Písek, SOkA České Budějovice on the picture):
Right order of groups:
SOA v Třeboni
SOA v Třeboni - odd....
SOkA České Budějovice (Č sorted as C!)
SOkA Český Krumlov (Č sorted as C!)
SOkA Jindřichův Hradec
SOkA Písek (í sorted as i!)
SOkA Prachatice
SOkA Strakonice
SOkA Tábor
Steps to reproduce
Try to add these groups and see displayed order:
SOkA České Budějovice
SOkA Český Krumlov
SOkA Jindřichův Hradec
SOkA Písek
SOkA Prachatice
SOkA Strakonice
Expected behavior
Sort group names with UTF-8 characters correctly
Actual behavior
Now are the names of groups sorted in bad order, maybe latin1 and not UTF-8?

Research direction
Reproduce the Contacts 4.2.2 behavior with the Czech group names listed in the issue, then trace where the displayed group ordering is produced. Confirm the sorting behavior with UTF-8 names and compare it with the expected order; done means names with diacritics are ordered alongside their base characters.
