Not really. Title sort is complicated -- far, far more complicated than merely looking a "A" and "The". See Knuth's Volume 3 pages 7-8 for something approaching the full horror. "1812" should be sorted as "eighteen twelve", if English and referring to the year or the music. As "Dix..." if French. "Mrs. Jones" should be sorted as "Mistress Jones". In other words, you'll need to know things like pronunciation of words, grammar, abbreviations, which words are names of people and places, what language any given word comes from. Etc. I don't really want to enter that mess. M. _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
