Well all french language locales should be diacrit backward.
fr_FR, fr_BE, fr_CH and others.

Also other languages, where french words and names are the biggest source
of multiple accented characters should have diacrit backward.
This goes for Danish (my own language), Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch.

Best regards
