More about this topic can be read here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphab...ic_conventions
I initially ran into this when researching Indexes earlier this year.
Certain languages might treat accented characters the same as unaccented, some might prefer to treat accented characters as completely separate letter (and might mix them between letters or sort them at the very end of the alphabet).
Very interesting stuff when you come from an English-only mindset!

I assume Sigil currently just sorts by Unicode position.
In the Wikipedia article linked above, one of the linked articles leads you to the "Unicode Collation Algorithm":
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/
which goes into all the sorting detail you would ever need.
