Hello  
Can anyone point me in the right direction with advice or a tut helping me to alphabetize my combobox that includes É.  
At the moment I am using

```auto
comboBox.sortItemsBy ("label", "ASC");

```

This works as expected, except the words I have that start with É end up at the bottom of the pile.  
Does this mean I have to put everything into a string?  
Any advice is greatly appreciated.  
Cheers
