Research direction
Examine the sort function implementation in eza, likely in Rust. Understand how the current sorting handles accented characters and compare with locale aware collation. Look into using Unicode collation algorithms or locale settings to correct the ordering of Hungarian letters. Check the issue comments for any additional context or suggestions from maintainers.
