Hi,
I'm creating some sorting tables. While researching this topic I
stumbled on the Polish dictionary sorting rules: if two strings are
equal except for case then the one gets precedence that begins
lowercase.[1] (This seems to apply to the Swedish order as well but I
have no means to verify that. Apparently, my German dictionary (from
1991) follows the same rule without explicitly stating so.)
Context seems to prefer it the other way round, so I modified two
functions from sort-ini.lua to handle that; but I'm not happy with
this solution.
So my question: is there already, or could we have some mechanism
to influence the details of sorting in context?
adapting the sorter is no option
grep for "-- uppercase after lowercase" in sort-lan ... you can define a
sort vector that deals with it
