Chaletpol, I know that Japanese characters take many pronunciations, far more than in Chinese. Kana is sorted by pronunciation, right? How do computers generally handle sorting by kanji, if there are so many readings? How does Mnemosyne handle this?
In Chinese, sorting by pinyin (romanized pronunciation) is the norm. Folders in Windows, songs and artist names in iTunes, etc.--all sorted by pinyin. This is why it's frustrating to be unable to sort my Mnemosyne data in any meaningful way (over 5000+ cards and 50+ categories). None of my other computer software works like that. --murrayjames 2011/8/24 ChaletPol <[email protected]> > Unfortunately, George, that is not presently a mnemosyne-specific > problem.
