Title: Menu Applet: correct sorting for application names with accents #3207

with a new `latinise` function in Utils (using 44 Regexes - didn't find a better way) characters with accents are replaced by their "normal" character. (e.g. é > e).
I tested it with a 3.2 GHz PC, the execution time is 0ms.
