At first sight, it seems to work well.
I'll wait few time before removing the "read-only" lock, please check that everything displays fine (i.e. no error), report me anything unusual (except the fact that all admin links are disabled, of course )
First advantage of the change: ÖAF is now listed with the other "O" makes, but it is still not at its real place. Büssing is not more accurately sorted.
I suppose that the "ü" & "ö" are not considered as "u" & "o" by the sorting engine of mysql, but rather as separate characters, respectively between u/v & o/p. To have German characters properly listed, I have to set sort to "German" rather than "general" West-Europe. I am not 100% sure that this does not have side-effects on non-German accent characters, so for the moment I'll keep "general".
A solution would be using full unicode: it would allow anything, including East-European characters, and sorting would be better from what I understand in MySQL documentation. But I am not sure that PHP supports that properly, and it would anyway require many changes. So that will be for later.
