Indeed, you could use %!sort to use the Unix sort command
instead of the Vim ex command (possibly replace % with
another range if you don't want to sort the entire file).

That said, sorting using the locale ordering with Ex :sort
could be useful. I see that ex_sort() in ex_cmds.c calls
sort_compare() and that function calls STRCMP() or
STRICMP(). strcmp() not use the locale, but strcoll() does.
We could consider adding a sorting option to honor the current
locale (e.g. :sort l) which would compare using strcoll() instead
of STRCMP or STRICMP.
