Following are the language-dependent variations to the collating sequences for Spanish, Danish/Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish.

Spanish

The CH is considered a separate character, which collates between C and D:

C@ CH Ch cH ch D
Where @ equals anything; therefore, CH comes after C followed by anything and before D.

The LL is considered a separate character, which collates between L and M:

l@ LL Ll lL ll M
Where @ equals anything; therefore, LL comes after L followed by anything and before M.
