OK, it was the locale after all. Thanks to @BetterRed the exact culprit has just been identified.

If I change the Windows settings for numbers (as above), sorting works fine.

Now the question is:

what to do so that I can keep my Windows settings and sorting still works in Calibre?

Strangely enough, this affects exclusively sorting the composite columns: floating numbers custom columns work fine regardless of the settings in Windows.

// EDIT

Got the final solution for the sorting problem! Still kinda puzzled.

I changed the settings for numbers back. Despite that, sorting still works in Calibre.
