When I compare two NSStrings, I want the accented characters be treated as regular characters. For example, if "é" is found in a string, it will act like "e" and "ê" and so on. Another example : "parle" and "parlé" will be considered the same when compared.

I'm doing this, through the method sortUsingSelector:@selector(compare:) (I can't use anything else since I don't know how to pass parameters within this method.

Here's a real-life example :

NSString *mot1 = @"arc";
NSString *mot2 = @"a";
NSString *mot3 = @"à";

Unless things have changed recently, GCC isn't UTF-8 aware and may be doing strange things to your text. Try reading your strings in from a file or from the UI and try again.
