I think MinimServer would currently sort "Schütz" after "Schumann". Why do you think it should come before? Is this because it should be treated as "Schuetz" for sorting purposes?

Exactly, that is the rule employed in German for names. (This is referred to as "phonebook sorting", in contrast to "dictionary sorting".) See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_ort...hy#Sorting and Table 1 of the Unicode Technical Standard, where this is represented as "öf < of".
