It is arguable that the most experienced body when it comes to dealing with the problems of different character sets, diacriticals and their influence on collation ordering is the European Union. Here are the official EU collation sequences for its member countries:
As best I can tell, your invented ordering would be incorrect for every country excepting possibly the UK. In particular note how Denmark, Sweden and Finland order those characters with diacriticals at the end. Over thirty years ago (or more, its not clear), realising that there is no way to resolve the disparate expectations of all the member countries, the EU took the pragmatic approach to solving this problem.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
