Thanks Dimitre and Jeni for you help. Dimitre, you're sollutions seem to be
what I was looking for. Jeni, I will study your sollutions in detail as well
(after a few more coffees).

At last, here's the correct solution:

The xsl:sort element in the previous stylesheet must be modified to the
following:

<xsl:sort
select="translate(concat(.,self::*[contains(.,'')]
/following::word[@type='end']), '-', '')"/>

This will work, regardless of what character is used for hyphenation.
