Accented letters in parenthesis are considered equivalent to the unaccented one except in case of homographs: the order is then the one shown here.
* Æ and Œ are special cases: they are equivalent to ae and oe (for the alphabetic order only).
See Règles du classement alphabétique en langue française et procédure informatisée pour le tri from Alain LaBonté for full French rules.
