We discuss this already, see <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-08/msg00623.html>

My major reservation to this approach is that it doesn't fit well using
string-collate-lessp as predicate of sort. That's why I have proposed a
global variable as alternative, which could be let-bounded.
