André Cruz commented on CASSANDRA-4245: --------------------------------------- I'm also interested in a UTF-8 comparator that orders columns alphabetically. In fact, I was expecting this to be the default behaviour in Cassandra until it bit me. For example, with 3 columns: André, Zeus and Ándré. I was expecting: André Ándré Zeus The result was: André Zeus Ándré This is what's being discussed in this issue, right? > Provide a UT8Type (case insensitive) comparator > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4245 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ertio Lew > Assignee: Aaron Morton > Priority: Minor > > It is a common use case to use a bunch of entity names as column names & then > use the row as a search index, using search by range.
