Re: [xsl] German umlaut sort

It may take a little bit of tweaking to make XSLT sort according to whatever
collating sequence you have in mind. Here's a discussion of the topic from
a German-speaking Java programmer's point of view:

Jean-Pierre,

what Heiko meant: There is not a single "true" German sort order. Thats why
(as I remember) books like dictionaries or phonebooks explain their sorting
inside.

What you get is also dependent on the software and tool you use, as XSLT is
not defining any language sort order.

Hi Jean-Pierre,

your list is sorted correctly. When sorting German words you treat
a-umlaut as a, o-umlaut as o and u-umlaut as u. At least I always would
do
it this way. :)

Hi,

I’m using the XSLT « sort » command to… sort yes ☺
But with the “umlaut†, I don't get the good sequence. How could I
get
the good one? Example : in general, “ä† is translated as “ae†.
Is
there a way or a tip to force that?

My wrong sorted list

Hochschulbau | 213 | 276
Hochschullehrer | 205
Homosexualität | 98
Hörfunksender | 330 --> this should be sorted as Hoerfunksender, so the
place is the wrong one
Humanistische Bildung | 202 | 203 | 209
Ideengeschichte | 82
Industriekultur | 7 | 162 |

Regards
JP
