Re: [libreoffice-users] sort order

Wow, yes, that sounds the sort of thing. It would need to be customisable, I'm not sure that the 
sequence used for the transliteration of hieroglyphs would necesarily be catered for.... 😊

 see
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_collation_algorithm
 now the problem is "where is the
 "collation algorithm" of calc ? An 
 algorithm which obviously has to change
 according to the language.....

 Strangely (to my mind) some less obtrusive characters with
 higher unicode *dont* work. Its a bit of a mystery whats
 going on, i can only surmise that there is somewhere a table
 of 'blacklisted' characters which are not taken into
 account for sorting purposes. This new (ish) sort order lark
 has been a right pain in the proverbials for me, generally
 speaking. I'll now just scour the table in the hope of
 finding something even better but at least there is
 *something* that'll work
