I don't quite understand why you want to place É, È, Ë, Ê all along with E, yet Å,Ä,Ö after Z. Because that's what the Swedish alphabet says? Please understand that collation varies across languages. For example in German, we also have Ä, but it does *not* come after Z. Instead, there are two ways to collate Ä (telephone book vs. dictionary): 1. Ä sorts exactly like A 2. Ä sorts as if it was transcribed as Ae So there is no one true collation of Ä, but you have to take into account what language rules you want to follow. If you want to implement Swedish rules, why then do you also want to support É, È, Ë, Ê? Do you have these letters in Swedish at all? If you want to use obscure collation rules, you might have to implement the collation algorithm yourself. For example, assign each letter a unique number (different from the Unicode ordinal), and then sort by these numbers. Take a look at ICU, which already includes collation algorithms for many locales. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5200> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
