2. what can be done to display folder list in alphabetical order
for selected language - for example letter "č" in Latvian
follows "c", not "z"
Horde 1.0.8 places national letters before A, 1.2.9 and
Horde4/IMP5 - after Z
We use strnatcasecmp and strcasecmp for sorting mailboxes. Those
have the advantage of correctly sorting mailboxes with numbers
and being binary-safe. For better locale-specific sorting, we
would have to use strcoll, but this function doesn't support
either of the former features.
so - resumé - it is not possible to get folders in correct
alphabetical order rathen than for ASCII-named, isn't it?
It looks like we might be able to use Collator::compare()
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/collator.compare.php) to do the
sorting. But this is only available in PHP 5.3.0+.
We could use it conditionally, it's also available through intl from
pecl for PHP 5.2. But I'm not sure if that would get us anything
that strcoll doesn't. The documentation is sparse, but to me it
sounds like it doesn't get us natural numeric sort or binary safety
(probably not necessary for mailbox sorting anyway) either.
Well... I'm not sure that our current sorting method is all that bad.
It's at least consistent. And if PHP does not provide the proper
tools to easily do this kind of sorting, I would rather not reinvent
the wheel.
