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.
Yes, I absolutely agree. I could only imagine that we make it
configurable whether we use strnatcasecmp or strcoll for sorting.
Implementing sorting ourselves is not an option.
