I think you are going to have to create a custom locale definition that
sorts the accented characters as you wish, but does not have the strange
rules about whitespace. I don't know enough about locale definitions to
give advice on how ... but I'll bet after a couple hours study you could
do it by copying just the parts you want of the existing Swedish locale
definition.
