Hmmm, that is not complete: I understand that every ü, Ü, u, U comes to 
single group, but is u<ü<U<Ü? Let say yes. Then try
------------------------------
\input sort-ini.tex

\useregime[win]
\enableregime[windows]          % Eingabe-Codierung
\mainlanguage[de]               % Sprachmodus	
\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]

\startmode[sortorder-de]
   \exportsortexpansion{u}{u+1}
   \exportsortexpansion{udiaeresis}{u+2}
   \exportsortexpansion{U}{u+3}
   \exportsortexpansion{Udiaeresis}{u+4}
   \exportsortdivision{u+1}{u}
   \exportsortdivision{u+2}{u}
   \exportsortdivision{u+3}{u}
   \exportsortdivision{u+4}{u}
\stopmode

\setmode{sortorder-de}

\starttext

\definesorting[person][personen]
\setupsorting[person][criterium = all]
%\def\person#1{#1\expanded{\index{#1}}, }
%\def\person#1{#1\index{#1}, }

\person{Unsinn, Klaus}
\person{Militzer, Bernd}
\person{Horten, Hans}
%\person{Überall, Heinrich}
\person{\Udiaeresis berall, Heinrich}

Index:
\placelistofpersonen
%\placeindex[alternative=A]

\stoptext
------------------------------

Comments:
- newtexexec is needed!
- works for both index/sorting
- works only for \Udiaeresis not for direct Ü! Strange! Why?
