Letter "Y" sorting looks in wrong place

I have words "BYA", "BRA" and "BTA" and want to sort them but somehow Archicad sorts letter "Y" wrong. I'am using INT Archicad version and as I understand according English Alphabet it should be somewhere at the end, but it sorts between letter "I" and "J"

English Alphabet under. Letter "Y" goes next to letter between letters "X" and "Z"

I am using the AUS version of 25 and Y is sorting in the correct location for me.

Do you have other language/keyboard settings in your operating system that could be affecting this?

Looks like language settings inside Windows settings affects how Archicad sorts letters. It was set to "Lithuanian" so it sorted "Y" next to letter "I" in wrong place. Now I changed both of them To United Kingdom and now it sorts as expected 🙂

 

Not sure if its good idea to take sorting from windows settings, because as I noticed my collogues from other country prints project with same schedules and values got listed in different places. Maybe this could be chosen inside Archicad what dictionary to use for sorting elements inside Archicad.
