I haven't written the custom collator, but the latest version now uses the locale collator. I forgot that there are two different sort routines (one for sorting the soup views and another for sorting the right hand panel) ... I had used a collator in the soup, but not in the playlist table view.

I've never done a custom Collator (in fact, this is the first time I've even looked at Collators in Java), but I'll take a look at writing one.
