Re: usort e & é together

I think my problem lies in usort. I have a big honker of an array which I usort. $ausenquiry = "e"; and $ausenquiry = "e"; give a separate result. I want to conjoin them. Possible? The same would be true for "a" and "à". usort distinguishes between é and e. Any way around this?
