A Chinese colleague confirmed that this is indeed what he expects. >From the icu-support mailing list: ----------------------- From: Mark Davis ☕ <[email protected]> Reply-to: ICU support mailing list <[email protected]> To: ICU support mailing list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [icu-support] pinyin sorting in zh_CN.UTF-8 Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 13:02:11 +0200 People have different expectations for pinyin. Some possibilities are: Sort Chinese characters in pinyin order, but separate from Latin Sort them interleaved with Latin, by the first character. Sort them fully interleaved with Latin. For #2, the easiest way to do it is with the Alphabetic index. For #3, the best is to use a Han-Latin transliterator to get a key, then sort by that key. ------------------------ We now know that ICU implements option 1, so implementing the expected outcome will be more work. We also need to determine whether #2 or #3 are expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
