Aha... I understand, what you mean, but I don't agree. It's in both cases far
from text processing. Names and - in my case - song titles in a table are both
"data" of the type "character". 
Your example of "von der Lippe" is to be solved by an additional column for
"von der" - a prefix that isn't relevant for sorting. I do something similar in
another table with movie titles, where I have a column for the article at the
beginning of a movie title, that is not relevant for sorting (the sixth sense,
the italian job...) (and I even do some calculation there... sure not with the
names). 
But both Flemish family names and song titles can't be parted like this or
cleared in another useful way but considering only letters. And this setting/
option would now already cover two use cases (three, if we count movie titles,
too), and who knows how many more...
