There is none. Sorting is done by the database. That is to say, in the default "comnpatibility" mode, binary "collation" is used - that is, byte-by-byte comparison of UTF-8 encoded data. Which sucks. But we are stuck with it until MySQL gets proper Unicode support. If you set up the database to use proper UTF-8, collation is a bit better (though still not configurable, i think). But it crashes hard if you try to store characters that are outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (Gothic runes, some obscure Chinese characters, ...) - that's why this is not used on wikipedia. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
