I need to create databases on the desktop that are sorted in the same
order that they would be sorted on PalmOS using TxtCompare and
TxtCaselessCompare.
The TxtCompare docs say that it uses up to 6 comparison tables for
sorting. However, I can't find any information on what those tables are.
I do know that a string like "AGE+12345" sorts after "AGE-12345",
whereas with StrCompareAscii the order is reversed.
It seems TxtCompare just uses one table: sortTable[0]. The system itself
has six tables, Palmsource and God know what for. I suggest you get
yourself the sources of PalmOS 4.0 and read it out there. I don't know
if I violate any agreement here...
There is all you need: the algorythm itself in TextMgr.c and the loading
of the SortTable in IntlMgr.c
