Shoebox software, free from SIL, can do special sorts (if you're feeling out
of sorts!):
http://www.sil.org
Go to the computer software section of the website from the main page.
Shoebox is specially designed to maintain lexical databases, so it should
work quite well with your Greek data. It displays special characters fine. I
*think* there is a version of the software for the Mac. If not, you could,
of course, run it with a Windows simulator on your Mac.
You can specify your alphabetizing sequence with Shoebox, any sequence you
want. The downside is that you have to learn to run the program. It's not as
tough to learn as some of SIL's software, but there is still a learning
curve.
There surely are other programs out there with which you can specify your
own alphabetization sequence. Have you tried Internet Web searches on
keywords such as "alphabetizing sequence", "sorting alphabetically", etc.?
