Please describe your bug

Accent marks on top of letters messing up alphabet sorting.
For example "İKİ, Alp Ersönmez, Çağrı Sertel" Is shown in two places in Jellyfin artist listing. It is shown both as the last artist in numbers-listing, and as first artist in 'I' listing. This also messes up the alphabet scroller on Finamp player.
I only added this album to my library once, and both listings show the same artist metadata path. "/config/data/metadata/artists/İKİ, Alp Ersönmez, Çağrı Sertel"

I checked with browser console, and the "SortName" is : "IkI alp ersonmez cagri sertel"
Hopefully an easy fix. Probably Jellyfin should sort the accented letters with regular ones? At least it should not be shown in two places.

Reproduction Steps

Jellyfin server 10.9.4, docker-compose install on raspberry pi.

Jellyfin Version

10.9.0
