Unfortunately, not without some serious work.  The TD uses simple string ordering, nothing fancy, to sort data.  Those characters aren't the same as their English counterparts (Á != A and É != E), and their placement in the ASCII chart is after all other English letters, therefore they probably get sorted to the end of the list.  You can see the Windows ASCII chart here (middle of the page, under IBM PC Extended ASCII Display Characters): http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.shtml
