This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View that is sorted alphabetically, but Scandinavian characters are not sorted correctly.
Solution: Usually this happens when your site's database is set up using a character collation or encoding that doesn't match your content language. A collation like utf8_swedish_ci or utf8mb4_swedish_ci might help in your case. I suggest you make a complete database backup before changing any database settings.

I believe there is a problem with sorting scandinavian letters in the Toolset suite. In Finland and Sweden we use characters like Å, Ä and Ö. These comes last in the alphabet.
I've noticed that titles for taxonomies handled by Types are sorted wrong if they begin with one of these characters. Å and Ä sorts as A and Ö as O. I've noticed this problem in WP backend and in CRED form select inputs.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
