I have added a section list for a simple Core Data iPhone app.

I followed this so question to create it - How to use the first character as a section name but my list also contain items starting with characters outside A-Z, specially Å,Ä and Ö used here in Sweden.

The problem now is that when the table view shows the section list the three last characters are drawn wrong. See image below

It seems like my best option right now is to let those items be sorted under 'Z'

if ([letter isEqual:@"Å"] ||
    [letter isEqual:@"Ä"] ||
    [letter isEqual:@"Ö"]) 
    letter = @"Z";

Someone that have figured this one out?

And while I'm at it... 'Å', 'Ä' and 'Ö' should be sorted in that order but are sorted as 'Ä', 'Å' and 'Ö' by Core Data NSSortDescriptor. I have tried to set set the selector to localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: but that gives a out of order section name 'Ä. Objects must be sorted by section name' error. Seen that too?
