Here the collating sequence of the alphabetical ([:alpha:]) letters
using
gawk and sort for the locales C, en_US, and en_US.UTF-8
(using Fedora Core 7 and the current gawk from CVS):

$ cat collating_chars.sh
#!/bin/bash
# collating sequence of the alphabetic letters
# in an externally specified locale
gawk 'BEGIN {
  for (i=3D 1; i <=3D 32767; ++i) {
    c =3D sprintf("%c", i)
    if (c ~ /[[:alpha:]]/)
      a[c] =3D 1
  }
  for (c in a)
    print  c
}' |
sort |
gawk '{
  printf "%s", $0
}
END {
  print ""
}'
