See this bug that I traced it down in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17051#c20
See also http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17051#c31 for the start of the reason why. Quite simply 'Z' comes between 'S' and 'T' in the Estonian alphabet. Just trying out collate as above, TR seem to ignore LC_COLLATE - I'm not sure why, but the folks with strange alphabet orders should be complaining. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
