This is the "how to collate text that contains diacritical marks" problem.
The ASCII representation of e-acute sorts after z, by default.
The wikiform script uses a piece of sort code from Pm's PITS recipe that
uses the strcasecmp PHP function to compare strings.
Do you have a locale set in your config file? The php manual suggests
that if it's set, then php will sort diacritics correctly.
I need to investigate possible ways around this. The answer may lie here:

This is not possible at the moment. It uses the header to enable column
sorting.
