Sort array of strings with čšž

Rails
1

hi,

I have problems with sorting array of strings with special characters (č
š ž),

%w"abcčdesÅ¡uvzž".sort => “abcdesuvzčšž”

the right order should be č after c, š after s and ž after z.

I write my own sort method:

sort_order = [‘a’,‘b’,‘c’,‘č’,‘d’,‘e’,‘f’,‘g’,‘h’,‘i’,‘j’,‘k’,‘l’,
‘m’,‘n’,‘o’,‘q’,‘p’,‘r’,‘s’,‘Å¡’,‘t’,‘u’,‘v’,‘w’,‘z’,‘ž’,‘x’,‘y’]
user_items.sort_by {|u| sort_order.index(u.name.first)}

But it only works, if im sorting by first character.

How can i sort the whole words with right order?

example: %w"audi, bmw 320i, ,bmw 320d, seat, Å¡koda, …".

thanks

sergej
