>Description:
UTF-8 locales appear to use C type collation.  

$ export LC_COLLATE="en_US.ISO8859-15"
$ ls *odt
sample.odt      s?mple.odt     sz?mple.odt
export LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
$ ls *odt
sample.odt      sz?mple.odt    s?mple.odt

Same results with every UTF-8 locale type used (fr_FR.UTF-8, eu_ES.UTF-8, en_AU.UTF-8, sv_SE.UTF-8, en_GB.UTF-8).
