### Are you using our SaaS platform ([Baserow.io](http://Baserow.io)) or self-hosting Baserow?

SaaS

### What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

Good morning, on the application builder, when sorting text columns, accented characters end up at the end of the alphabet. For example, [“Zebra”, “Apple”, “Ähhhh”] is sorted as [“Apple”, “Zebra”,“Ähhhh”] and it should be [“Ähhhh”, “Apple”, “Zebra”] to match the sorting order of baserow tables.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Keep up the good work 🙂

Cheers
