You need to define a custom sort function. That's what I placed in 
TestSort.TestSort.php :

  $PageListSortCmp['namelocalesort'] = 'LocaleSort($x, $y)';
  function LocaleSort($a, $b)
  {
    $x = array($a, $b);
    setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
    sort($x, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);
    return ($x[0]==$a)? -1:1;
  }

You can add this code to your config.php, and then in the wiki page, 
use "(:pagelist order=namelocalesort:)". 

The line "setlocale(...)" may be  not required for your wiki.

Thanks,
