 * My website’s language is English and my data table has columns of terms in different
   languages. In Portuguese, there are terms that begin with diacritics (e.g. índice).
   When I sort this column, these terms are sorted to the end, I assume because 
   the website language is English.
 * I would like to have the columns sort correctly for the language. So I installed
   Polylang and created a Portuguese page for the table. The columns continue to
   sort according to English rules, that is, “índice” appears at the end, when it
   should be among the words beginning with “i”.
 * I also tried changing the website’s language to Portuguese and the table column
   still sorts according to English.
 * How can I get the plugin to sort columns according to the language I want?

 * Hi, joanneburek
    The sorting logic, that our plugin is based on, is currently
   sorting only alphabetically for non-server side tables. – – If you are using 
   server-side tables, ( such as Manual tables, or SQL), and if you wish to try 
   a workaround, we can not cover it on this forum, since these features are only
   available in our premium version of the plugin. If you wish more details about
   that, you would then have to write a ticket to our support on [https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/](https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/)
 * Kind regards.
