Is it an apostrophe (') or is it an accent aigu (´)?

Many users don't know the difference and instead of using the apostrophe the accent aigu is used.

They are in different position within the extended ASCII.

By the way it is not a convention but the sort order is normally determined by ASCII (if you're not familiar please look that up in Wikipedia). Depending on the localization of the code there are different characters assigned to the same number. So the sort order could differ.

There are other codes in use like UTF-8 or Unicode (both are very similar to each other). Depending on the laziness of the software developer you will have to live with different sort orders regarding your software.
