The problem is actually wider than that.

Some packages behave differently because of the locale itself,
not just because of the ordering. Examples:

https://reproducible.debian.net/issues/unstable/lynx_dump_varies_output_with_locale_issue.html
https://reproducible.debian.net/issues/unstable/nroff_output_varies_by_locale_or_utf8_issue.html
https://reproducible.debian.net/issues/unstable/elinks_dump_varies_output_with_locale_issue.html
