How to get Swedish sort order for strings

I am having a problem sorting Swedish strings.

I am having problems with the following characters: v, w, å, ä, ö.

new[] { "ö", "ä", "å", "wa", "va", "wb", "vb", "a"  }
.OrderBy(x => x, new CultureInfo("sv-SE").CompareInfo.GetStringComparer(CompareOptions.None))

Expected: a, va, vb, wa, wb, å, ä, ö

Actual: a, va, wa, vb, wb, å, ä, ö

Is the there any option to make it sort the strings as expected?

As a work-around I have switched to the culture se-SE (Sami) just for sorting alphabetic strings correctly while I wait for the .NET sorting rules to be updated.

Update:

Here is the github issue: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/37753

Update2:

The issue is not with .NET, it is the sorting rules defined in the underlying operating system. This error is only present on Windows.
