Language - Dependent Variations 

Following are the language-dependent variations to the collating
sequences for Spanish, Danish/Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish.

Spanish 

The CH is considered a separate character, which collates between C and
D:

     C@ CH Ch cH ch D     Where @ equals anything; therefore, CH comes 
                            after C followed by anything and before D. 

The LL is considered a separate character, which collates between L and
M:

     l@ LL Ll lL ll M     Where @ equals anything; therefore, LL comes 
                            after L followed by anything and before M. 

N and N are not considered the same when collating; they follow one
another in the collating sequence:
