Closes #10718

Before:

  • folders with accented starting letters are moved after the end of the regular alphabet
  • lower-case letters are treated as being equal to upper-case --> order is sometimes lower-case < upper-case, sometimes upper-case < lower-case
image

After:

  • folders with accented characters are integrated in regular alphabet
  • always lower-case < upper-case
image

Note that changes to the devices locale may require a restart of Thunderbird to take effect. If this was not wanted, sortForDisplay could be converted from a stored to a computed property.
