how to set sort order for MSDE 2000 A

I'm trying to make MSDE 2000A sort order case-insensitive accent-insensitive.
I have this in my setup.ini file:
[Options]
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SECURITYMODE=SQL
DATADIR="D:\"
AutoStart=255
[DlgCpSortUnicode-0]
SortId=54
LCID=1033
CompStyle=196611
It installs but sp_helpsort still says:
Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insensitive,
width-insensitive for Unicode Data, SQL Server Sort Order 52 on Code Page
1252 for non-Unicode Data
Is this supported? What do I have to do?
TIA

try using the SQL Server collation instead of Windows codes, like
setup.exe .... COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI_KS_WS"
= Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-insensitive, kanatype-sensitive,
width-sensitive
you can inspect all available LatinXX collations executing
select * from ::fn_helpcollations()
where name like 'Latin%'

|||thanks Andrea. You rock! This worked.
Is there a list of collations somewhere?
When I try:
setup.exe .... COLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AI_KI_WI"
which would match my SQL Server 2000 setup, the MSDE setup blows up during
cnfgsvr.
This is not a problem for me, but might be useful for future reference.
Thanks again!

|||I read the msdn article but im a little bit confused about the counting.
For instance if i login and transmit a batch of sql statements and log off
i use 3 operations ? or only 1 ? At the moment i use some like this : m_pRs-
>Open((LPCTSTR) strSQL, (LPCTSTR)strConnection, adOpenStatic,
adLockPessimistic , adCmdUnknown);
where m_pRs is a RecordSet.

where did you find that parameter?
AFAIK, AutoStart is part of the [DlgServices-0] for unattend installation fo
SQL Server 2000, feature not available for MSDE...
and it refers to autostart services..
