--- Comment #11 from Héctor M. Monacci <hector.monacci at gmail dot com> ---
Please find attached an example of Spanish letter sorting after the 1994
Agreement. This is from Diccionario del Español Actual, by Manuel Seco,
published in 1999, page 2860.
As you can see, after LIZO comes LLAGA (and then, several pages ahead, you will
find LUJO). This is to show that already back in 1999 the old LL "letter" was
nonexistent, and words carrying LL used the common latin-alphabet order. If the
old situation hadn't changed, this dictionary would have sorted these words
thus:
LIZO
LUJO
LLAGA
Instead, already in 1999 these words are sorted, in this Dictionary, thus:
LIZO
LLAGA
LUJO
