Sorting characters with accents

Hi,

With this request : SELECT AZ , hex( AZ ) FROM az ORDER BY AZ

I'm getting
AZ HEX ( AZ )
ê 52
à 7C
a 81
c 83
e 85
é C0
è D0
ç E0

If I use ORDER BY hex(AZ)
I get
AZ HEX ( AZ )
é C0
è D0
ç E0
ê 52
à 7C
a 81
c 83
e 85

Can anyone tell me how the sorting works?
Thanks
