Thanks a lot Stefan & Peter.
I'm almost there (except sorting of umlauts does not work yet).
import locale
def sorted(items, key):
decorated = [(key(item), index, item) for index, item in
enumerate(items)]
decorated.sort()
return [item[2] for item in decorated]
items = [{'title':'the Ähnlich', 'id':1},
{'title':'The Storm', 'id':2},
{'title':'the bible','id':3},
{'title':'The thunder', 'id':4}]
print sorted(items, key=lambda d: locale.strxfrm(d.get('title')))
-> [{'id': 2, 'title': 'The Storm'}, {'id': 4, 'title': 'The thunder'},
{'id': 3, 'title': 'the bible'}, {'id': 1, 'title': 'the \xc4hnlich'}]
The entry with the umlaut is the last item in but according to german
umlaut rules it should be the first item in the result.
Do I have to set anything with the locale module?
Regards
Nico
