--- Comment #20 from Alan <[email protected]> --- Comment 17, 18 and 19 are incorrect. in general the comments all seem to indicate that Case Insensitive means sorting in REVERSE collating order. That is NOT what Case Insensitive means. Case Insensitive is NEITHER Upper Case before Lower Case NOR Lower Case before Upper Case. It IGNORES case. Hence the name: Case Insensitive. Case insensitive: ABC = abc = AbC = aBc A case sensitive sort takes the case of a character into account. The collating sequence of ASCII and UNICODE for the ASCII characters is identical. Upper case comes first. So a case sensitive sort should sort the above as: ABC AbC aBc abc If Lower Case is to be sorted first, that is a Reverse Case Sensitive sort. It is NOT a Case Insensitive sort. A Case Insensitive sort is important. Sort: nice, Nicer, nicest, Nicely, jump Case insensitive: jump, nice, Nicely, Nicer, nicest Case sensitive (Natural Order): Nicely, Nicer, jump, nice, nicest Case sensitive (Reverse Order): nicest, nice, jump, Nicer, Nicely NOTE: Case Insensitive would be preferred when sorting a list of names where some may be capitalized and others not. It is also the sort that would be used by either a Dictionary or Encyclopedia. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are on the CC list for the issue.
