It is. What do you think str1Length and str2Length parameters are for? > For my subset of data, it fits just perfect.

You seem to believe that your callback will be called to compare individual characters. I can't imagine whatever gave you this idea. Your callback is called to compare two *strings* (of arbitrary length) and report whether, according to your collation, one string should be sorted before, together with, or after the other. > Let's say the comparing names are "São Paulo" and > "Santos". -> SELECT * FROM Game WHERE TeamHome = 'SANTOS' COLLATE anyCIAI; > > The LOG function shows a comparison between S and other first char only only: That's because *you* only log the first character. You are given the whole string - you just *choose* not to look at it beyond the first character. > I was expecting it to go further What is "it" in this sentence?
