I just found out that I had the default swedish collation still set for
the MySQL tables and apparently the letters y and ü are treated/sorted
identically in Sweden. *Doh* So everything works as intended.

I'll stick with iso-8859-1 encoding throughout my code and database for now
and switch to utf8 as soon as possible.
