I disagree. FN is (1,n). We're still in the same situation.

Suppose you have multiple FN properties. Which one are you going to use
for sorting? The first one? It wouldn't make sense to pick e.g. the
second one because there's nothing guaranteeing that all second FN
properties in all vCards have anything in common. Also, the order of
properties can be changed by any intermediate system since order doesn't
matter.

Since we're in the same situation with ORG, I don't see why we wouldn't
solve it exactly in the same way with a separate property, e.g.
ORG-SORT-STRING.

Now, one thing that I like about your example is the use of the LANGUAGE
tag. We need to at least add an example where the LANGUAGE tag is also
applied to the SORT-STRING property.

Example:

ORG;LANGUAGE=ja:日本の組織  # "Japanese organization"
ORG;LANGUAGE=en:Japanese organization
ORG-SORT-STRING;LANGUAGE=ja:にほんのそしき

(I'll figure out an equivalent example in French since we can't have
Japanese characters in RFCs...)
