Sorting a space may be done in various ways.
We tried in the past to have a good sort
handling both spaces and accents, but we failed to automate it.
So we are doing our best manually.

In other words, I don't approve this patch
if there is no good automatic sort with it.

"O" should be before "S"
This is an example of bad handling of accents in the automatic sort.
