Wrong sort order when displaying a list of music folders that contain Unicode characters

Created attachment 7117 [details] A list of folders I am using - a mix of Ascii and Cyrillic unicode chars I am using MusicFolder to access my music via SB Touch and I am seeing 2 issues when the list of subfolders contain cyrillic Unicode characters.
Created attachment 7118 [details] Screenshot of SB Touch showing issue 1
Created attachment 7119 [details] Screenshot of SB Touch showing issue 2
Finally describing the issues - sorry my first bug here. Issue 1. Folder names starting with the same unicode characters are not shown together - instead folders with names starting with other characters are in between. In my 'issue1' screenshot you can see the following order: В. Зотов А. Некрасов В. Смехов Агния Even if this bug tracking tool is not unicode you can see that instead of something like A,A,B,B order I have B,A,B,A. You can reproduce this bewhavior easily by creating folders with the unicode names from the attached folders.txt. BTW, folders.txt contains the proper sort order - which you can see by browsing the Windows folder hierarchy too. Issue 2: Cyrillic characters are intermixed with ascii characters. In screenshot Issue2 you can see 3 ascii-named folders and 2 cyrillic-named folders in between. Note that even though a character might look like an ascii one it might be pronounced totally differently, not to mention that it's hard to sort using a 'combined' English+Russian alphabet. Better leave the two languages separate like Windows does.
What operating-system Locale do you start SbS with?
System locale ("for non-Unicode programs") is Russian, Windows UI language is US English (I'm running regular US Win7 pro). Squeezebox server runs under the user account which has all default US settings.
I set the system locale to US English, rebooted and got no difference in sort order. The bug still reproes.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
