Hi, I am now using 1256; i mean, I have set the locale to farsi before installing SQL Server, and I am using the non unicode types (char, instead of nchar). so I will have not problem with G-CH-P-JH and they are in the correct place! (Actually i am not sure about the real reason).
I think it will be possible to apply a similar trick, when using unicode. i.e. using a function to map unicode characters to our correctly sorted order (a 0..255 HashTable). The convertion will result in the loss of data, but there will be no problem if we want to use it only in the ORDER BY clause. Let me know what is your idea. --- Behdad Esfahbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Nice idea, this is the same as what I'm going to > implement for > postgresql, BTW, does it support PE, CHE, ... too? > > > On Mon, 24 Jun 2002, Hamidreza Younesy Aghdam wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Fortunately I found some kind of solution for the > > sorting problem, just after sending the mail.
