Is it a bug?

  • I know this is an issue with the app, and contacting Mullvad support is not relevant.

I have checked if others have reported this already

  • I have checked the issue tracker to see if others have reported similar issues.

Current Behavior

Version 2026.8, European Portuguese locale:

Expected Behavior

Under the selected locale, the two marked entries ("África do Sul", "Áustria") should be sorted among the A's. One way to fix this is to use a locale-aware Unicode collator.

Both the desktop and iOS apps (the latter since #10799) present the correct behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Change system language to European Portuguese
  2. Open the relay list
