The standard zh collation sorts Chinese characters correctly, but I'm
trying to sort the pinyin transliterations. For example, this XQuery:
default collation="http://marklogic.com/collation/zh";
let $words := ('fù-bèi shòu dí','fùdi','fùgǎo','fūzi','fùtòng','fùxiè',
'fù-mu')
for $x in $words
order by $x
return $x
returns
fù-bèi shòu dí
fù-mu
fùdi
fùgǎo
fùtòng
fùxiè
fūzi
which is in codepoint order, instead of the correct order:
fūzi (1st tone comes before 4th)
fù-bèi shòu dí
fùdi
fùgǎo
fù-mu (hyphens should be ignored)
fùtòng
fùxiè
Am I correct that the supported way to sort this text is to create a
sortable form for each of these strings at document load time?

Ah, right. I missed the key word "transliteration". Yes, I think what
you want to do is create some kind of sort key at document load time.
