A. Soroka commented on JENA-1313:
---------------------------------
Well, I would say a partially-applied function because you're not getting a
function back from it, but tomAYto-tomAHto, in this case. :) My understanding
is that {{collate:collate(?value, ?lang)}} would sort the way [~osma] described
in the ticket description, i.e. by {{?lang}} and then by {{?value}}.
Admittedly, that makes your "big number" problem more urgent, and I don't
pretend to understand all the impl implications. And as you wrote in that
message, that may not at all be what a given user wants (especially in a
multilanguage system).
I actually really the idea of passing in a comparator-- super flexible! But I
don't want to dig out a rabbit hole when [~osma] is just trying to get a
simpler problem solved.
> Language-specific collation in ARQ
> ----------------------------------

> Key: JENA-1313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1313
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ARQ
> Affects Versions: Jena 3.2.0
> Reporter: Osma Suominen
>
> As [discussed|http://markmail.org/message/v2bvsnsza5ksl2cv] on the users
> mailing list in October 2016, I would like to change ARQ collation of literal
> values to be language-aware and respect language-specific collation rules.
> This would probably involve changing at least the
> [NodeUtils.compareLiteralsBySyntax|https://github.com/apache/jena/blob/master/jena-arq/src/main/java/org/apache/jena/sparql/util/NodeUtils.java#L199]
> method.
> It currently sorts by lexical value first, then by language tag. Since the
> collation order needs to be stable across all possible literal values, I
> think the safest way would be to sort by language tag first, then by lexical
> value according to the collation rules for that language.
> But what about subtags like {{@en-US}} or {{@pt-BR}}? Can they have different
> collation rules than the main language? It would be a bit strange if all
> {{@en-US}} literals sorted after {{@en}} literals...
> It would be good to check how Dydra does this and possibly take the same
> approach. See the message linked above for further backgound.
> I've been talking with [~kinow] about this and he may be interested in
> implementing it.
