Shehzaad Nakhoda updated PHOENIX-4237:
--------------------------------------
Description:
Strings stored via Phoenix can be from the entire set of Unicode characters.
The natural sort order for strings for different languages often differs from
the order dictated by the binary representation of the characters of these
strings. Java provides the idea of a Collator which given an input string and a
(language) locale can generate a Collation Key which can then be used to
compare strings in that natural order.
Salesforce has recently open-sourced grammaticus. IBM has open-sourced ICU4J
some time ago. These technologies can be combined to provide a robust new
Phoenix function that can be used in an ORDER BY clause to sort strings
according to the user's locale.
> Allow sorting on (Java) collation keys for non-English locales
