I noted Wieland's response prior to looking into this and wondered if
there wasn't a simpler way. I thought that perhaps setting the language
to Greek in Word would enable proper sorting (though this was probably
one of the things you tried). I tried a simple list of four words in
non-alpha order. QEOS, XRISTOS, BIBLIA, and hAMARTIA. At first glance I
thought It had worked until I noticed that hAMARTIA was not in proper
alpha order. I'm afraid I haven't anything easier to suggest than what
Wieland told you.
