Kein Problem. ß, esszett" is not part of the alpabet. It's just a contracted form of an s and a z in the middle of a word, so by definition, it cant stand at the start of word. Alphabetically, it would b just s, and no German words except proper names come to my mind that begin with "Sz". Also, ä,ö,ü aren't part of the alphabet, because they are just ae, oe, ue.
