Hi Folks,
The character 'A' sorts before the character 'Ã' so this XPath expression
returns true:
'A' lt 'Ã'
No, it depends on the default collation in the static context.
For Saxon, the default collation is the Unicode codepoint collation,
where ('A' lt 'Ã') is true. But another product might choose a default
collation in which ('A' eq 'Ã'), or it might choose a default collation
based on the locale settings in your user profile in your operating system.
In XSLT 2.0 you can set the default collation for XPath expressions
using the default-collation attribute on the xsl:stylesheet element, or
in fact on any enclosing XSLT element.
According to [1] the sorting behavior changes depending on what character
follows.
That blog posting is about sorting behavior on OS X, not about sorting
behavior in XPath.
