I think I have found a solution. The problem with the current definition is,
that "ss" is folded into one character, while "ß" should be expanded to "ss"
and sorted accordingly.
I read the manual pages of colldef and found a solution, which sorted my
test patterns right.

This patch now sorts successfully my test words:
ausarbeiten
aussagen
außer
aussuchen
austragen
auszahlen
Any negative side effects by this patch?
[Why does <ss> have to be somewhere in the order statement although it has
been substituted by some other characters? If I remove the <ss> in the order
statement, colldef won't compile the file. The position of <ss> doesn't even
matter...]
BTW It is ugly you cannot use symbols on the LHS of substitute.
