Bug#511357: Sorting wrong for sv_SE
Package: locales
Version: 2.7-18
Until 2006, W was regarded as a variant of V, but when the 13th edition
of SAOL (Svenska Akademiens OrdLista; the reference dictionary for the
Swedish language) was introduced, W was a proper letter, after V in
the alphabet[1].
This means that the reordering rule in sv_SE should be removed.

Sorry that the reference link is only in Swedish, but news like this are
unlikely to be printed in foreign newspapers...
