Improve grouping by name for non-ASCII file names

This commit prevents that all non-ASCII letters which are not umlauts
are grouped in a single group "Others", and that the joint group of
an ASCII letter and the associated umlaut in some locales is called
"Others" if there is only the umlaut in the group.
