Bug description:
Without the LC_COLLATE locale variable set to one of the UTF-8 locales, php will put "Åland Islands" in the wrong place for English (either before Afghanistan or after Zimbabwe).

When LC_COLLATE is set to something like 'en_NZ.utf8' using setlocale() in php, the sort order is fixed.  But if we just set the variable in the default server environment, it seems to get zapped by the default apache startup script which sets LANG=C.

We could try to change that, or have a configurable site option which searches for installed locales that match the language and then prompts the admin to choose one.
