[development] Reverse iconv encoding for sorting of international arrays

[Bèr Kessels]

Hi,

tagadelic has a bug[1]: when it sorts the tags based on their name, it 
compares two tags with strnatcasecmp. This is used to sort-order the array 
with tags.

However, strnatcasecmp is not binary safe (grmmmbll), resulting in weird 
clouds. One would expect "Drive | every | état | Factory | fear " instead, 
état  will be placed even before the tags starting with 'a'.

How is this dealt with normally, I can't beleive I am the first one to run 
into this?
Is there a reverse for drupal_convert_to_utf8($data, $encoding), so that the 
result is 7bit-safe and usable in strnatcasecmp?
Am I looking in the complete wrong direction?
