I assume this is correct, I don't do windows.

This sounds fishy. Specially the .1251, which hints at a collation for
win1251 encoded bulgarian.

In my computers ( linux, debian and redhat derived most of them ) I
have LC_COLLATE set to en_US.UTF-8, and they seem to sort utf-8
properly. Maybe your .1251 does some strange character mapping utf-8
=> 1251 before sorting. The collations are, IIRC, derived from the c
library collaiton routines anyway.
