Sorry, Frank. A power cut interrupted me.I have sent a small (20 row)
spreadsheet to illustrate the problem.The sort is being done on Column A. Column
A is a mapping of Column B & C in order to implement a complicated collating
sequence quite far removed from the actual form of the data entered. This is a
dictionary of Khoe (a Namibian language) with grammatical information and
translations into Afrikaans.

If you look at the spreadsheet starting at row 9 you see the problem The first 7
characters are identical and the problems appears in column 8.The sort was done
with case sensitivity switched on. Column 8 sometimes has ó (rows 10, 13, etc)
and sometimes with ò (rows 11, 12, 15 ...). I am not interested in the intrinsic
value of the characters in Column A, only their ascii codes. I am using them to
do a sort which I need done strictly according to their ascii codes. I
understand that OOo uses unicode conventions to do this sort so I guess it
really is a feature. I am asking to be able to turn this feature of and do a
sort strictly by ascii code and nothing else (much like turning of case
insensitivity). I think this should be easy to do and would make OO much more
useful as a tool for working with "exotic" languages.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks,
Jonathan
